The Mafia Boss Saw the Bruises I Hid.

After twelve hours caring for everyone but herself, nurse Hannah Brooks collapses on a rain-soaked Chicago sidewalk. The stranger who catches her is gentle—until her sleeve slips and he sees the bruises. Damen Moretti is a man people know better than to cross. Hannah should be frightened of his attention. Instead, when her controlling ex refuses to let her go, Damen’s home becomes the first place she can sleep without listening for footsteps. Behind closed doors, the ruthless mafia boss remembers how she takes her coffee, lets her scold him over his injuries, and looks at her as though wanting her is the one thing he cannot control. But his protection comes with enemies, and his tenderness conceals a grief he has never explained. As Hannah begins to trust him with her heart, Damen must decide how much of his carefully built empire he will risk to keep her in his arms.
