Elena Marchetti never wanted anything from the Moretti family. She just wanted her bakery, her quiet life, and her brother alive. But Marco gambled away two million dollars of their money, and in Dante Moretti's world, debts are paid in blood. Dante is the cold, untouchable heir to Brooklyn's most feared crime family. He has killed for less. He offers Elena one way out: wear his ring, take his name, and belong to him for one year. She says yes to save her brother. She doesn't know what the yes will cost her. Behind the locked gates of his mansion, Dante makes the rules, and Elena breaks them one by one. He wants obedience. She gives him defiance. He wants a fake wife. He starts to want something far more dangerous. But a traitor is hiding inside the family, enemies are circling, and the closer Dante pulls her, the more Elena realizes the ring may not be what's trapping her. Some vows are made to be broken. Some are written in blood.
