Poppy Brooks, who’d ditched the mafia she was tied to in pursuit of a normal life as a caregiver, is suddenly hired by a wealthy man, who needed a caregiver for a strange severe case of migraines.  

She accepts the job, unaware of what she is getting into. What this man is, she had no idea. The weird connection she has with him, or his unlike-human behavior at times, none of them makes sense to her. 

He is the devil, some would say.  
.
.
Xavian Winslow, an alpha who ditched his pack to stay on the other side among humans, is suffering from a cursed migraine, one that affects his daily life. What he needed as a caregiver was a human who didn’t have anything to do with him, not in any way. 

For a man who’d had a first mate who died on him, a second mate was very much impossible. 
But would that still be the case when he meets Poppy Brooks, his caregiver?  

What will he do when he is left with a choice: reject her to protect her or risk losing her completely to the hands of his kind, who forbade mating with humans? 

Will he keep her regardless, or let go? And what happens when he discovers that Poppy, who he’d thought was nothing but a caregiver, is one way or another related to the mafia? A group of humans who he despised with every fiber in him?

The Alpha’s Caregiver is a Mafia

Xavian gazed at her, eyes locked on hers, and only when she winced at his tight grip did he look away, letting go of her hand.

"Curiosity kills the cat, Poppy."

Poppy narrowed her eyes at him. "Does that mean you have a very big secret, and if I find out, you're going to kill me?"

"Like you being Superman?" She burst into laughter the second he shot her a hardened, disdainful look, shaking her head. "What are you, Xavian?"

"Why are you being so curious?" Xavian asked, tilting his head at her.

Poppy didn't answer. It wasn't that she was being curious, it was rather a kind of feeling that she felt deep inside of her, like she knew this man, but not in this way. It was a kind of feeling she couldn't understand.

"Xavian!" Someone walked into the kitchen, halting with her shoulders rising and falling in heavy breathing.
