Synopsis:
She needed safety. She found love … and danger.
After escaping from a terrible marriage, Tasha Roberts gives up on love and takes solace in her work. Now, after years of preparation, she’s finally ready to open her first jewelry store in Manhattan.
But when the Russian mafia threatens to burn the place down if she doesn’t pay for protection, Tasha has no choice but to turn to the Italian mob for help.
The last thing she expects is her response to Jimmy de Angelo, the Don’s grandson. He’s the most attractive man she’s ever encountered, and even the knowledge that he’s a violent enforcer doesn’t stop her from wanting him.
Jimmy is instantly smitten with the beautiful, kind-hearted Tasha. His determination to keep her safe touches off a bloody conflict between his family and the Russians -- and leaves Tasha in more danger than ever.
When the crazed Russian patriarch, Igor Popov, realizes the depths of the growing romance between Jimmy and the goldsmith, he has Tasha kidnapped.
To get her back, Jimmy summons an unlikely crew of underworld and straight-world hard cases, from his own grandfather and cousin, to members of a Chinese tong, to Tasha’s ex-military brother.
Can they survive a small army of Russians and their berserker leader, and rescue Tasha? Or will her and Jimmy’s happy ending be cut tragically short?
