In a series debut for fans of Tracy Wolff and Sylvia Day, New York Timesbestselling author Missy Johnson asks a burning question: What happens when love is undeniable—and taboo?

Pietro Gustovi is loyal, polished, and hard as stone, the kind of guy women want and men respect. At twenty-three, he’s survived tragedies that would break men twice his age. And he owes it all to his father’s closest friend, Giovanni Spontagio, who took him in as an orphaned teenager. Pietro would give his life for Giovanni . . . but his heart belongs to Giovanni’s daughter.

Raised in Chicago under the spotlight of power and privilege, Lucy Spontiago feels most alive on stage. Determined to become a prima ballerina, she escapes her father’s protective gaze long enough to audition for the ballet in New York City. Soon, however, Lucy realizes that she is not alone. Pietro is watching her back. And though he’s like a brother to her, Lucy cannot deny the thrill she feels knowing his eyes are on her.


Pietro could never betray his mentor by sleeping with his only child. But Lucy follows her passions, no matter how forbidden. Soon their nights are consumed by explosive, red-hot temptation—a dance that will expose shocking secrets and burn everything else to the ground.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

“He places his finger to my lips, urging me to suck.  I oblige, running my tongue along its length.  Slowly, he trails his hand down my body.”

4 stars I liked this book even though the ending is slightly frustrating at best.  It was a good read overall though

Pietro is taken in by a man named Giovanni after his parents were killed, when he was 15 years old.  Instantly he’s smitten with Giovanni’s daughter, Lucia who’s 13.  Both of them fall in love instantly but neither seem interested in fighting for what they have together.  The ending leaves you completely frustrated with Pietro, with Lucia and with Giovanni.  Now I feel like I have to read the next book to find out what happens next….UGH hahaha
