She was traded like a debt.
He collected her like one.
Neither of them expected what came next.
Valentina Marchese has spent her whole life being the girl nobody chose first. Overlooked by her mother, invisible to her stepfather, and robbed of everything she loved by the stepsister who took things simply because she could.
When Salvatore Greco offers her to Milan’s most feared mafia king to settle a debt she knew nothing about, Valentina has no choice but to say yes.
Dante Rossetti doesn’t need a wife. He needs a deal. What he gets is a girl in a silk nightgown pressed against a wall, terrified of him, who looks him in the eye and refuses to break.
He tells her the day will come when she will beg to be his.
She tells herself she would rather die.
They are both wrong.
And they are both right.
Irresistible Distance is a slow-burning mafia romance about a woman who was sold into a world she feared and built an empire inside it. About a man who collected people and learned, for the first time, what it meant to be kept. About the dangerous, consuming, irreversible thing that happens when two broken people stop protecting themselves from each other.
She thought she married a monster.
It turns out she married her home.
