They say violent delights have violent ends. If they want her, they'll have to get through him first.

Juliet Smith's world is small by design--confined to her studio apartment, the local bagel shop, and the bookstore she manages. Her predictable life isn't glamorous, but it's safe. And Juliet hasn't had enough of that in her life.

But when a mysterious man stumbles into the bookstore after closing, Juliet's sheltered existence is turned upside down. Romeo De Luca is dangerously charming and unmistakably trouble. Fear should send her running--but she's never reacted normally to danger. Especially when it comes packaged with dark eyes and an unexpected tenderness.

Romeo was born into the mafia. His life is built on shadows, and he's learned to thrive in them. Until her. Juliet is everything he's not--innocent, soft, and untouched by the darkness that stains his soul. Their paths were never meant to collide, but once they do, walking away becomes impossible.

When Juliet's safety is threatened, Romeo's restraint snaps. Anyone who dares harm her will learn these brutal truths: he doesn't love halfway and he doesn't protect gently. The world is about to see just how far he'll go to guard the woman who's become his light.

They may be star-crossed lovers, but no one will keep Romeo from fighting for his Juliet. This edition features an exclusive bonus scene and character art. His Juliet is a spicy, age-gap mafia romance with a hurt/comfort dynamic, mental illness representation, and a jealous/possessive hero. It ends in an HEA and can be read as a standalone.
