Willow Life is unfair to a girl like me. I'm not meant for happily ever afters or anything lasting.
Until the day it all changes.
Nico Rossi, who has a dark secret I couldn't begin to comprehend with the whirlwind my homelife is, unexpectedly stands up for me in our shared class. I'm instantly drawn to the quiet boy who seems to harbor a soft spot for me. But once I learn who his family is, our future becomes skewed and clouded.
That fragile stability I've come to cherish crumbles beneath me, and I'm left yearning for a man I'll never see again.
Or so I thought.
Nico Nine. Years.
Nine years of waiting and watching.
Willow doesn't know it, but she's been mine since she first spoke to me. She thinks she can move on, but I won't allow it.
Crashing her wedding and cementing her in my life for good is supposed to be our ending, but when a new threat arises, and my brothers and I are forced to confront familiar faces, our happily ever after doesn't look so straightforward.
I'll stop at nothing to ensure Willow's safety. Even if it kills me.
UPDATED: This is a light gray mafia romance with a HEA. There are swoon-worthy, lighthearted moments, but there are still difficult themes in the beginning of this book that some readers may find triggering. Trigger warnings are listed at the beginning of the book.
