Isabella Romano lived in the shadows of her father’s wealth, believing he was nothing more than a powerful businessman. On the night of her engagement party, her world shatters when Dante Moretti—the cold, merciless heir to the most feared mafia family in Italy—storms in, humiliates her father, and drags her into a marriage she never chose. Dante wants revenge. Years ago, Isabella’s father betrayed the Morettis, stealing millions in hidden mafia gold. Now, Dante intends to make Isabella pay for her father’s sins, binding her to him as his unwilling bride. But hatred soon sparks into dangerous attraction. Behind Dante’s cruelty lies a possessive obsession he cannot control, and behind Isabella’s fear lies a strength she never knew she had. Torn between loyalty to her blood and the dark pull of the man who owns her, she must survive a world of lies, betrayal, and blood-soaked secrets. When family rivalries ignite and Dante’s own brother turns against him, Isabella finds herself at the center of a deadly war. Love was never part of the plan—but it may be the only thing that can save them both.
