In the dangerous world of the Cosa Nostra, Carmen DiLuca knows her life is no longer her own. Forced into an arranged marriage with Dominic "Dom" Romano, the cold and feared Don of the mafia, Carmen is nothing more than a pawn to secure her father's empire. Dom is a force to be reckoned with—his icy blue eyes and commanding presence send tremors through those who dare cross him. He doesn’t care for her affection; he wants control. And with their union, he intends to own her—mind, body, and soul. But Carmen isn’t the docile, delicate beauty Dom expects. With fiery red hair, sharp green eyes, and a defiant spirit, she’s been trained to fight since childhood. She may be trapped in a marriage of convenience, but she refuses to be anyone’s possession. As their fake marriage ignites a dangerous attraction neither can deny, Carmen must navigate the shadows of mafia galas, rival families, and Dom’s possessive grip. But when her life is threatened, will their volatile bond turn into something more... or will Dom’s need for control destroy them both?
