Blood was seeping through the fabric of his jeans as he staggered into the emergency room, the young mafia boss with his dark braids and the glint of a lip piercing holding himself upright through sheer will. Gravely wounded in a clash with the Italian syndicate, his shadowed gaze locked onto the young nurse across the triage desk. He was the most feared man in the city, vulgar and cold, now rendered utterly vulnerable. She had already seen his chart, and the contempt in her eyes was plain. The air grew thick between the wounded killer and the caregiver who judged him unseen. When she cinched the suture too tight, pain flared white-hot behind his eyes. He broke the silence, voice a low blend of irony and seething rage, challenging the morality she wore like a uniform.
