A mafia dark romance in which Sloan, daughter of a rival crime family, is kidnapped on her wedding day by Rocco, the enemy who once tried to kill her brother's killers (and whose family she was promised to as payment for a blood debt). Forced into close quarters with the man she's supposed to hate, the two are drawn into a volatile, enemies-to-lovers entanglement full of danger, banter, and unresolved history between their warring families. It's told as a standalone with its own complete arc, even though it later launched a two-book series.
