Summary
Melissa has always had a turbulent life, and as a result, she has never been a model of responsibility. Impulsive, dreamy, and stubborn, she constantly jumps from job to job in the hope of paying for her journalism degree. When she lands a waitressing position at the upscale restaurant Belladonna, she believes luck is finally on her side. But living with Valentina, the restaurant's mysterious chef and owner, proves more difficult than she imagined. Cold, controlling, and nearly impossible to read, Valentina awakens contradictory feelings in Melissa: anger, fascination, and desire.
Meanwhile, a wave of brutal murders haunts New York. Suddenly, Melissa finds herself caught in a dangerous psychological game where nothing is as it seems, and where love can be as lethal as a sharp blade.
