I don’t want a wife. But in the mafia, marriage isn’t about love—it’s about power.
When the Family demands I marry Giovanni Lucatello’s sheltered daughter, I drown my frustration in whiskey and meet a woman who’s everything I shouldn’t want: bold, sharp-tongued, and tempting as sin. One night with her is unforgettable. But by the next morning, she’s gone. Or so I thought.
When I walk into my engagement meeting, I see her sitting there, looking like innocence itself. Gianna Lucatello. The woman I’m bound to marry.
I’ll make her regret what her father did to me. I’ll make her pay for the Lucatello crest burned into my chest. I’ll punish her in ways that leave her breathless and begging for more.
Because the more I make her suffer, the more I crave her—and the more I realize that beneath her defiance is a woman I’ll burn the world down to protect.
Gianna isn’t just going to be my wife. She’s my obsession. And I’ll stop at nothing to keep her.
