Lorenzo Puglisi is a mafia don with power, loyalty, and a wife he cannot leave. Their union was forged by oath, not affection, and as her mind fractures under the weight of mental illness, Lorenzo remains trapped by his duty to family, by legacy, and by fear of what leaving his loveless marriage might cost. Malika Robinson has been the nanny in the Puglisi family since the birth of the Puglisi’s first child. And she knows the cracks in the marriage no one dares to name. What began as a silent understanding between two people trying to navigate a volatile situation at home has grown into something dangerous, something tender, and something impossible to ignore. But what happens to love in a world ruled by codes and consequences? He’s bound by blood and loyalty, but she’s in his home and his heart.
