The Godfather meets West Side Story in this twisty, darkly romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd. A dangerous blast sends a girl into hiding to escape a deadly family feud...
As a child, Maarja Daire saw her mother ignite an explosion that killed vengeful mob boss Benoit Arundel—and herself—to save Maarja's life. Maarja's been on the run ever since...fleeing from intimacy, from love, from consequences.
Now an adult, Maarja hides in plain sight as a fine arts mover, transporting priceless belongings. Work for a new client brings her to the mansion where the fateful blast from her childhood occurred. There she meets Dante, the ruthless, scarred and brooding Arundel family boss. He watches her with dark intent...but does he remember her? Will he use her to take revenge for his father's death? A chance turn of events earns her his trust, when she courageously leaps into flames to rescue his mother. And what happens between them in the darkness sets their worlds on fire, as Maarja recklessly abandons her lifelong caution and self-imposed isolation.
Dante calls the urgency between them Fate. Maarja denies him, struggles against his domination and fights the slow erosion of her resistance. When he vows to end the ancient feud, his hidden enemies seize the opportunity to destroy him and the woman he will do anything to protect. Bound together by destruction, passion and destiny, Dante and Maarja must navigate uncharted depths of betrayal and loss, to create a new beginning...before the flames of the vendetta consume them.

      Starred review from February 1, 2025
      As an employee for Saint Rees Fine Arts Movers, Maarja Daire tries to remain as invisible as possible on the job. She intends to be exceedingly careful working for Mrs. Raine Arundel, but an explosion at the Arundel mansion forces Maarja into the spotlight as she tries to save her employer. Maarja's courageous actions bring her to the attention of Raine's son, Dante Arundel, who has inherited control of his crime family's empire. The question now is whether Dante will recognize Maarja from an incident more than two decades ago, when Maarja's mother and Dante's father, a cruel mob boss, were both killed in another explosion at this same location. Given the explosive plot of her latest addictively readable tale, Dodd (Forget What You Know, 2023) cleverly ratchets up her usual exciting mix of suspense and romance to incendiary levels by successfully marrying a wildly imaginative story line involving an ancient feud, a Mafia clan straight out of La Cosa Nostra, and a rare artifact, with plenty of crackling sexual chemistry and a few love scenes guaranteed to scorch readers' fingers as they turn the pages
