Aria Chen has one rule: never owe a Moretti anything. Then her father gambles away two million dollars, and the debt lands on her doorstep—along with Dante Moretti, the most dangerous man in Chicago. He doesn't want money. He wants a wife. One year. One ring. One cold, public marriage to satisfy his dying grandfather's will. In exchange, her father walks free, her mother gets the surgery she needs, and Aria gets to walk away when it's over. She says yes to a deal she swears she can survive. But Dante Moretti doesn't share. His house has too many locked doors. His enemies know her name. And the way he looks at her across the dinner table is nothing like a business arrangement. When Aria discovers the truth about the night her father's debt began—and the part Dante played in it—she has to choose: run from the man who destroyed her family, or fight for the man who might be her only way out. He bought her freedom with a ring. Now he wants the one thing she can't give: her heart.
