Elite operative Eden enters the fortified manor of the VanderLinde crime syndicate disguised as a strict personal tutor. His assignment is to tame Ivy, a volatile mob heiress whose reckless defiance masks the brutal scars inflicted by her late father.
Behind deadly pranks and loaded chambers, Eden discovers the broken girl underneath and shields her from rival syndicates. Their fierce connection turns intimate until a sudden gang war forces Eden to vanish into thin air. Three years later, Ivy commands the Manhattan underworld as an iron-willed matriarch, and Eden resurfaces under cover. They must partner against syndicate conspirators while denying the dangerous passion that still threatens their lives.
