She spent years earning a love that never came. On her birthday, Emily Sterling finally stops waiting. When her husband announces his cruel yearly "game," where his childhood love plays Mrs. Sterling for seven days, she answers with one calm word: "Okay." Then she resigns, signs the papers, and walks away without a single tear. But one man has loved her for twenty years. Dante, a feared mafia figure, is ruthless to the world and devoted to her alone. With him, there is no game and nothing to earn. Now Richard's empire is crumbling, and when Emily steps off the plane, he's sure she came back for him. She didn't.
