My name is Tilly, and when I was 17, I lost the love of my life because my mum and his dad did the nasty, made a baby, then got hitched. It drove us apart, me into the arms of another and him as far away as he could get. Now six years later, he shows up telling me he doesn’t care that he’s my stepbrother, that we share a sibling, or that I’m a single mum with three kids to a guy he’s always hated. He wants me back and he’s willing to prove it.

I thought I had escaped the demons of my past. For ten years, I lived a life of relative peace, got an education and a great job, and worked on healing myself, all while hiding right under the nose of the very people I had run from. Life was good. But then the head of the Bratva turned himself in and would only speak to me. My life began to unravel as people from my past returned, those I thought I could trust betrayed me, and men I should run from became my biggest temptation yet.

All I wanted was to live a peaceful life... but being the daughter of the Italian Mafia made that a difficult dream to obtain. My father's death left a hole of power behind, and my brother pushed me out, cutting me off from everything I had. To protect my son and those I love, I have to choose between claiming the throne that is owed to me or running away and never returning. I was never someone to back down from a challenge, so with the help of the other families, I take a stand to reclaim what is mine, but I underestimated the men who will stop at nothing to see me fall.

I made a mistake that might have ruined someone's life. I've moved to Sydney to avoid the glares and the questions from the people back home, but there's one thing I can't run from--the guilt and pain that follows me relentlessly. All I can do is dull it with alcohol and casual sex. But then my new boss, Mr Dark and Delicious, deserted me, mid kiss, with my skirt hiked up and my shirt discarded on the alley floor. I should hate him—him and the secrets he's keeping. But I can't stay away. Because the pain and guilt he's hiding mirror my own.
