Ryker Vance is feared by all—but behind the walls of his mansion, he’s just a father. At twenty-eight, he’s a mafia boss with a failing heart, raising his two-year-old son, Isaak, who has white hair like his own and green eyes like his late mother. Every day is a delicate balance between protecting his family and surviving the world he controls.
When his mother hires twenty-six-year-old private nurse Iris Sullivan without his permission, Ryker is determined she won’t stay. But Iris isn’t afraid of danger, sharp words, or the tension that lingers in every corner of the Vance estate—and Isaak reaches for her in ways that feel familiar, softening the man who refuses to let anyone in.
As danger, grief, and desire collide, Ryker must decide whether to guard his heart—or risk everything for the one woman who might heal it.
