Elina was just a broke waitress trying to survive another double shift when a feared mafia boss entered carrying his baby son. The child supposedly rejected everyone—bodyguards, nannies, even family. But the moment he saw Elina, he reached desperately for her and refused to let go. When she finally held him, the baby instantly relaxed against her chest.

Atlas stood over Damen Romano's body with his teeth bared, and fourteen armed men would not take one step closer. The dog had been bred to fight. In five years he had learned to trust exactly one human being, and that man was dying on the study floor with a poisoned cup cooling six feet away. I was not a detective.

I did not know yet that the song had a name — or whose it was.
