Description
My name is Lorenzo Moretti. Born to be head of the Cosa Nostra, except that I chose love over my birthright.
On our wedding day, my father cursed our union, swearing on his own blood that my wife and I would never live out our days in happiness.
I guess he was right, because fate stole her from me and I’m left to live an empty life without her, with a shattered heart and only half a soul.
On the day my wife died, I swore I’d never love anyone like that again, and it’s a promise I kept for two years.
A promise I kept until her…
She sauntered into my life wearing a dress the color of sunshine and with nothing else but an old Mustang and a smile. Beaten and bruised and seeking refuge behind my family’s walls. But I’m no white knight looking for redemption, and she’s sure no damsel in distress.
She’s annoying as hell. With no filter and an eternally sunny disposition. She says whatever’s on her mind, no matter how poorly judged it might be.
She’s everything I don’t want.
But she might just be everything I need.
And I don’t know how much longer I can resist her sweet smile and her sinful curves…
Because there’s only so long you can stand in the sun before giving in to its heat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5)Oh… Lorenzo.Grumpy, emotionally unavailable mafia man meets literal human sunshine and suddenly I’m sitting here catching feelings I did NOT consent to. 🫠This book HURTS in the best way. The grief? Heavy. The tension? THICK. The “I absolutely should not want her but I do” energy? Immaculate.Lorenzo is broken, bitter, and lowkey allergic to happiness… and Mia just crashes into his life like a golden retriever with zero self-preservation. She’s chaos, she’s light, she’s everything he swore he didn’t need.And the way this story handles love after loss?? Yeah… that hit a little too hard.Sadie Kincaid really said: ✨ angst✨ yearning✨ emotional damage✨ and then… healing...& I ate it up. 🤌🏻Only reason this isn’t a full 5⭐️ is because I didn’t read the earlier books first (rookie mistake), but honestly? Still obsessed.If you like:🖤 grumpy x sunshine🖤 dark mafia vibes🖤 emotional slow burn🖤 groveling that actually hits…this is your next read.A huge thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing | MIRA, and Sadie Kincaid for this ARC in exchange for my review. 🫶🏽
