Valentino Cassano is a man who lives in shadows, lies and secrets. He works for a group that he can't tell anyone about. When the ugliness from that world affects the woman he's had a thing with for a few years, he refuses to let her face it alone. Lexy Camden loves her life as a veterinarian. However when everything gets turned upside down and Valentino inserts himself into routine for more than a few days things get complicated...fast. The feelings she'd been ignoring for so long won't give her a moment's peace. As the danger to her escalates, and part of Valentino's past comes out, will they have a chance to be a real couple or will it all be shattered with the simple pull of a trigger? Valentino has lost a lot and has no plans to do so again, now if he can just convince Lexy to give him another shot.
