Harry owns his own Italian restaurant, sometimes acting as head chef, especially whenever they are hired for special events—responsible for preparations, menu changes and adjustments, management decisions… everything.

Son of an Italian father and an English mother, both passionate about cooking, both leaving a legacy that Harry followed to the letter under a cold, imposing, serious, responsible image… an intimidating man who, even at 38, seemed to have more character and drive than anyone.

But what made him cold and calculated wasn’t only the kitchen, but his… other business.

There, he was also a leader, one of the most feared traffickers in New York. His restaurants also served as the best way to strike deals, move merchandise and hold meetings without raising suspicion. Not that he had much to worry about, being the kind of man who knew how to rise among the greatest—both politically and socially.

There was only one thing in this life that could soften Harry just enough so that, even if he didn’t smile or change his expression at all, his eyes would at least shine.

His right hand, Mitch, hired her a year ago in the main branch of his restaurant. Sweet, caring, attentive, respectful, responsible… beautiful.

An angel Harry fell for, hard.

He insisted, despite not having the friendliest face, through direct confessions, gestures beyond words, and gifts (that cost a kidney). Eventually, she fell too and gave him a chance, even knowing what moved behind the restaurant’s “facade.”

She still worked as a waitress—something Harry didn’t enjoy at all—but at least he had her close from Monday to Friday.

Because yes, he continued insisting he wanted her to let him take care of her, keep her as she deserved being his woman, his angel… but since she kept refusing, he simply gave her the easiest shifts and never made her work weekends.

Whether he liked it or not, she was Harry’s angel and his driving force—and Harry would protect her at all costs.

Especially with how twisted his life was.
