I was walking home from Bible study when I witnessed the murder of a teenage boy. That night, my life changed forever.

I was supposed to go into witness protection but in a lawless city, who can keep me safe except the one man who lives above the law? His name is Luca Vittore. He's the underboss of the Italian mafia and the older brother of Mario Vittore, the boy whose murder I witnessed. Luca wants to keep me safe because if I die, the people who killed his little brother will never be brought to justice. Right now, my life is in Luca's hands. I have agreed to stay with this dangerous man until the trial so I can safely testify in court. I've agreed to his protection. I've agreed to his hospitality.

What I didn't agree to is everything else.

The way he looks at me. The sound of his voice when it's soft as a whisper. Or even his curiosity about my faith. What do I do when Luca Vittore asks me if murderers go to Heaven? What do I tell him when he asks if God could love a sinner like him?

I thought Luca wanted to see justice done for his brother's murder, but it seems he's after something else instead. I think he wants my heart, and I cannot resist him forever.
