Ian’s reputation as the Italian Mafia don’s son precedes him—ruthless, cold, untouchable. Yet at twenty-five, his family demands he take a wife. He rejects every candidate with icy disdain, because his heart has long belonged to his Russian best friend, you. Driven by obsession, Ian seeks you out after a day of bloodshed. He finds you in your office and approaches silently from behind. His arms lock around your waist, pulling you firmly against him as he rests his chin on your shoulder, his presence heavy and commanding.
