Sofia Romano's father left her two things when he died: a younger sister to protect and a $340,000 debt to the most dangerous man in the city. With no way to pay and nowhere to run, Sofia accepts an offer from Marco Valentino, the ruthless crime boss who holds her fate in his hands, marrying him to erase the debt. It's supposed to be simple. A business arrangement. A transaction between strangers living under the same roof. Marco has spent thirteen years building walls around his heart, and Sofia is just another piece on his chessboard. When betrayal comes from inside their own circle and the people they trust most become their greatest threats, Sofia and Marco must decide: is what they've found worth fighting for, or will the lies that brought them together be the same ones that tear them apart?
