Too. Many. Secrets... and Vinnie Falco is buried in them. He works undercover day and night to keep watch over Jo Notaro, whose fiery temperament matches her boundless energy and unparalleled beauty. Jo is unable to withstand the endless scrutiny and constant surveillance, so when Vinnie's ever-watchful gaze lingers too long, she can feel his touch-and she doesn't know if she loathes it or loves it. Vinnie's job to watch Jo goes much deeper. He's a vice president of an international corporation, a front the Medici Protectorate, a brotherhood which continues a tradition going back nearly 500 years to guard the Medici line. Jo and her sisters are the descendants of the Medici and someone wants them dead. Vinnie has another secret he's desperately trying to hide. A secret that could push Jo too far away for even him to save her.
