From USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Ash comes a brother's best friend, age-gap, small-town romance …MatteoShe’s my best friend’s little sister. Sweet, innocent, Little Russo… everything I swore I’d stay away from.But when Daniella unknowingly marries a man who’s out to destroy her family, she lands herself in a danger she can’t escape and I’m the only one who can protect her.I’m rough, ruthless, and nothing close to the man she deserves. I can’t give her the white picket fence she craves.But she doesn’t see the blood on my hands or the failure of a man who isn’t husband or father material.All she sees is the man who’ll burn the world down to save her.The more time I spend with her, the more the light threatens to break through my darkness, making me want the things I’ve spent my life rejecting.I should reject her, too. Protect her from me as much as from him.But that's the thing about our arrangement...Her husband is bad.But me? I'm worse.
