They say violent delights have violent ends.
They’ll have to get through me first.

JULIET

My world is small and predictable—that’s how I’ve designed it. It doesn’t extend beyond my tiny studio apartment, the local bagel shop, and the bookstore I manage.

So, when a mysterious man crashes into the shop late one night while I’m doing inventory, I should be terrified.

But I’ve never reacted normally to danger.

And this man is as dangerous as they come… at least, for my heart.

ROMEO

The Mafia is my family—the only thing I’ve ever known and all I’ve ever needed.

Until her.

Our worlds aren’t meant to collide. My life is darkness and she is light, but I can’t stay away any longer.

When her life is in danger, the darkness within me bursts to the forefront.

We might be star-crossed lovers, but no one will keep me from my Juliet.
