J. Starling

Sixteen years I've survived his father's cruelty by keeping my head down, playing the useful accountant, the invisible family asset. Then Luca Scarfoni decided he wanted me. He's the mafia heir. I'm his step-uncle. It was the one line even he shouldn't have crossed. I was wrong. His obsession doesn't know rules, and it turns out, neither do I.

My life was a carefully curated map of invisibility until Jax Ryder decided to burn it all down. After catching him in a compromising secret, the dynamic shifted. I held the power, and my price was simple: make me desirable to his captain. I wonder when I stopped being afraid of him and started being afraid of losing him.
