Franco I live by three stay vigilant, show no weakness, leave no witnesses. These principles kept me alive through military combat and fifteen years as Dante Veneziano's most feared enforcer. Then one night, I hear a woman's scream and her child's frightened voice, and I break all three rules at once. Sarah Mitchell is nothing I expected. A single mother with tired eyes and unwavering strength, struggling to provide for her son while nursing an injured ankle. I should disappear from their lives as quickly as I entered. My enemies would consider them perfect leverage against me. My world has no place for vulnerability or attachment. Yet when her son asks if I'll come back tomorrow, I find myself making promises I have no right to keep. For a man who's spent his life in the shadows, they offer something I never thought possible. A family to call mine. A reason to come home. Franco is a short, sweet, and steamy instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Veneziano Family series.
