Facing Downwards

Everything changed the night Hayden Delaney entered a private room to search for her missing blind date. Four years ago, she lost her family in a fire and thought her stepbrother, Dominic Fox, had also died. That was until she found out that he was alive and her date knew her stepbrother. Also, he is the Mafia Lord. His cold attitude toward her is nothing she isn't familiar with, but now things seem different. After Hayden accidentally killed a mafia boss in a deal gone wrong, she is forced to stay by Dominic's side. Hayden joins his company and works with him so Dominic can keep her safe. What she doesn't expect is that she starts to fall in love with him. That alone is dangerous enough. Facing love rivals, office drama, and someone trying to kill her, can Hayden manage to survive while keeping her heart safe? Dominic had tried to keep his distance from Hayden, not only because she was too young but also because she was too innocent. As the Mafia Lord, his life was already full of hidden dangers. He also had a secret that could destroy everything. He tries to think of Hayden as his sister, but his heart has never thought of her as a sister. Once her life is put in danger, he has no choice but to keep her close. The more time they spend together and the more dangerous it becomes, the less he can keep his heart hidden. Dominic's biggest fear is that he will lose his heart and fail to protect her.
