Tease (The Villetti Chronicles #1.5)

What would you do if you fell for the woman you’re supposed to protect?

When you’ve been tasked by your best friend and boss to protect his family from an unknown threat, you shouldn’t be noticing how attractive his youngest cousin is.

Pity for me I’ve had feelings for Rina Villetti for longer than I care to think about. And I’m all but sure she doesn’t feel the same way until she starts opening up to me.

The shy bookworm shouldn’t be my focus when secrets from the past come to light. Rina makes me forget I have the mystery behind her father’s death to unravel. He never wanted her involved in the mafia, but now his daughter is the key to finding the truth.

I shouldn’t drag Zayn’s younger cousin into this world, but it turns out, Rina was in it all along. Can I keep my precious girl safe or will everything fall apart when all the puzzle pieces fit together?
