Imagine growing up in a home where dinner conversations are punctuated by gunshots and family business means organized crime. This is Daisy Haites' reality-the younger sister of London's most feared crime lord, Julian. Her world exists in a delicate balance between medical studies and family loyalty, between healing wounds and witnessing their creation. One evening, she's calmly stitching up one of Julian's men after a dinner table dispute ended with a bullet wound, the metallic scent of blood mixing with lingering pasta aromas-just another Tuesday for Daisy. Her classmates wonder why she never joins study groups, unaware that her last name carries both privilege and prison. In this dangerous dance between normalcy and violence, Daisy finds herself falling for the one person she shouldn't-Christian Hemmes, son of another powerful family and supposed "just sex" arrangement. What began as steamy driving lessons in his Range Rover has evolved into something neither will admit, even as Christian's whispered "Baby" in intimate moments makes her heart race despite her determination to keep emotions out of their arrangement.
