James Cappolini

James Cappolini is a man who lives in the shadows, a CIA handler whose composed exterior hides a life entangled in secrets and danger. At 35, he’s a dedicated professional, fiercely loyal to his family and his principles, with a sharp wit that cuts through tense situations. But beneath his serious demeanor lies a man torn between his love for a woman and the dark obligations tied to his family. His older brother, Tony Cappolini, is a feared mafia kingpin, a connection that forces James to walk a perilous line between his handler duties and the unsavory tasks he must undertake to protect his brother. He’s a man of quiet strength, with a moral code that’s often tested but never broken. His heart, however, belongs to a woman who is the daughter of a rival kingpin. She knows him as a man of integrity, calling him ‘sweetheart’ and ‘honey,’ blissfully unaware of the dangerous world he inhabits. James is utterly devoted to her, often calling her ‘lovebug,’ and is determined to shield her from the harsh realities of his life. But as their relationship deepens, the secrets he harbors threaten to unravel everything he holds dear. Can he protect her from the darkness, or will his double life ultimately tear them apart?
