“If you keep looking at me like that, amore mio,” he murmured, his voice rough at the edges, “I’ll have to make good on my promise and give you another baby.” She gasped, her cheeks flushing a soft shade of pink. He closed the distance between them, his thumb tracing the heat blooming across her face. “Dio, aiutami,” he breathed against her ear. God help me. “You make it impossible to behave.” … One signature to save my son changed everything. Carmilla Willows gave up her family’s dynasty for a man who she thought would be with her forever. But forever ends on Elias’s fifth birthday, when she walks into Silas’s office and catches him kissing his secretary Lila — who is pregnant with his child. Devastated, she flees with Elias and crashes the car. Elias survives but loses his voice. Broken, she returns to the one truth she buried: she is the secret heiress of the ruthless Willows family. When she was twenty two she signed a deal with her parents. If her marriage to Silas didn’t last for six years she would have to marry a man of their choosing. Young and blinded by a promise of everlasting love she signed the contract. Carmilla must now enter a three-years contract marriage with the cold and powerful billionaire Rafael Hawthorn. He needs a wife for his run as governor. She needs the power to destroy the man who broke her. Neither of them planned to fall. But the friend closest to her is hiding whose side she’s really on. The husband she’s learning to trust has a child she’s never heard of. And the truth about her son’s accident is darker than anyone will say … a secret that could shatter her family, ruin Rafael, and the only one who knows it, is a five-year-old boy who cannot speak.
