Forced to wed: A grieving mafia princess trapped in a deadly alliance… with the one man she swore she could never have.
She's my best friend's daughter.
Barely twenty-two.
Sacred. Forbidden. Mine.
She never dreamed she'd wear my ring, share my name, warm my bed... But with her father's blood still fresh on the streets and vultures circling, I'm the devil she knows.
What began as duty ignites into an obsession I can't control.
Because when I look at Bella now, I don't see Giovanni's innocent little girl. I see the woman who could bring me to my knees.
As she claws her way to power at my side, I'm losing the battle to resist her. The walls I built from my first wife's betrayal are falling, and the secrets in my past could get us both killed.
With my baby growing inside her, and my brother plotting our destruction, I'll paint this city red. Because I'll slaughter anyone who tries to take what's mine
'You were never just a duty, Bella. You were always meant to be my salvation.'
