MATTEO
She looked familiar.I traced my eyes over the soft features of her face, lingering on the curve of her neck. Her milky white skin contrasting with the pile of deep red hair gathered on her head. There was a smattering of freckles dotted over her nose and her lips were full and soft and totally kissable.
Caitlin was fucking beautiful.
Get your head out of the gutter, Bellatoni. It wasn’t appropriate to think about her in such a way after her ordeal tonight. Not to mention the fact she was terrified of the storm.
When I’d seen that stronzo with his hands on her petite body, I’d almost lost it. Images of Arabella had flashed through my mind. I didn’t like to spill blood often, but for the women in my life, there wasn’t much I wouldn’t do.
Family was everything to me.
Seeing the fear in Caitlin’s eyes, hearing her screams, seeing the tears roll down her cheeks, had reached something deep inside and taken hold. Truth was, before she even invited me inside, I’d already made the decision to camp out in the truck right outside her building. Just to be sure. Part of me wondered if I should have called the cops, or better yet, called some of our guys to come and deal with the piece of shit.
I knew Enzo would give me shit for it—hell, probably Nicco too—but I knew I wouldn’t rest without knowing she was okay.
“Do I know you?” The words spilled from my lips.

Résumé
Matteo Bellatoni is only passing through town.

Caitlin O'Connell is running from life.
It's hardly any surprise when she finds herself in an alley with a man who wants to hurt her.
But then he appears. A dark angel sent to save her.
When Matteo offers her a ride home, she should say no. She should thank him and never look back. But it's been so long since anyone took care of Caitlin, she can't do it.
She can't say no.
Besides, it's only one night.... One perfect storm.
What's the worst that can happen?
