Angel arrived in Los Angeles later that day with her heart in her throat. She felt better knowing David was close, but not knowing what was happening to him was killing her. Sheâd fought panic almost every moment since Danteâs call, finding solace only in the numbness that sometimes settled over her like a gift.
Nico opened the door of the car Luca had arranged for them, and Angel slid into the backseat. There were no friendly greetings with the driver this time, no kiss on the cheek as with their driver in Rome last fall. They were off the grid as far as the Syndicate was concerned, laying low and keeping their movements a secret from everyone but Luca, who had gone back to New York to check on the business.
She leaned her head on Nicoâs shoulder as they headed south. She knew he blamed himself for what had happened to David, but she wasnât letting herself off the hook so easily. She should have known better than to step back into her fatherâs world. Into Nicoâs world. Sheâd barely escaped with her life last time. Sheâd been naive to think that she could dip her toe in the water without being sucked back in. And while naivety wasnât a crime, in this case, selfishness was.

The sun was setting, lighting the Pacific on fire as it sunk toward the horizon, when they finally turned onto a winding road leading up a hill of scraggy brush bordered with palm trees.
The house was Spanish in style, with a white stucco facade and a red tile roof. It was set on a cliff high above the water, and Angel could just make out a meandering path to the private cove below.
The driver pulled into a gravel courtyard and they got out, retrieved their bags, and headed for the front door. Nico rang the bell, and they glanced at each other as it echoed on the other side of the door.
A minute later it was opened by a tall, muscled man in jeans. He looked at them from eyes that were so dark, it took her a minute to realize they were blue. His sculpted chest was tan, bare except for some kind of pendant tied with rope around his neck and a strange tattoo that covered his shoulders and continued onto his back. He had thick, wavy blond hair, the
