Angelo is a mafia enforcer who works for Dante Ricci. He likes being single and one night stands are really his forte. He enjoys the companionship of a woman, but doesn't really want to bring one into his life or change his lifestyle. Angelo and Catarina meet, have a one night stand and go on their own ways. Catarina finds out a short time later that she is pregnant, but when she goes through all the clubs, she can never find Angelo again. A few years later, she is out with a friend and bumps into Angelo again. He doesn't remember her, but does find her familiar. Angelo is at that club to take care of some mafia business and Catarina witnesses what happens. He forces her to marry him so that she cannot be forced to testify against him. When Angelo comes to collect Catarina and her daughter, Chelsea, will he realize how much the little girl looks like him? Will the fact he's now a father change anything?

This is a book filled with intense characters and stories. It's not super angsty, but there is lots of action and intense situations.
