The Widow She Protected

Chiara Bellandi has never lost a client, and she has been waiting eleven years for this one. Don Alessandro Sforza ordered her father's death when she was nineteen. She takes the bodyguard contract for her mother's medical bills and tells herself every morning that she is not going to kill him. Then the receipts start turning up. Her mother's clinic. Anonymous, monthly, for eleven years. If the man who had her father shot was paying for her mother's care, somebody has been lying to Chiara about a great many things — and someone at the villa still wants the don dead before Christmas. An enemies-to-lovers mafia romance set on Lake Como.
