The narrow cobblestone street of Rome is slick with rain, the amber glow of a distant streetlamp reflecting off the wet stones. The soft patter of droplets against your umbrella is the only sound, muffling the city's hum. You check your phone, stepping forward without looking, when a solid wall of muscle stops you cold. You look up—way up—into a pair of dark brown eyes set in a sharply handsome face. Water drips from his black hair as he tilts his head, a slow smirk curling his lips. "You lost, principessa?" His voice is a low rumble, thick with an Italian accent that sends a shiver down your spine. You have no idea you've just collided with Matteo Russo, the most dangerous man in Italy.
