Gideon Rule, the consummate gentleman who runs the Villa Aurelia, has everyone fooled. They think he's simply a businessman catering to the wealthiest of the Amalfi Coast.

But I know what hides behind that mask of civility.

The younger son of Helix Rule has mastered the art of pretending to be that perfect gentleman while behind the scenes he's as ruthless as any of the villains in his family.

He claims he took me from my ex-boyfriend for my own safety, but it's him I need protection from once we're alone. The man whose job it is to gather intel for his father knows my deepest thoughts and desires.

And he intends on using them for his own pleasure.
