Lola thought divorce meant freedom. In the mafia world, it meant death. Until Ocean, her cruel ex-husband's father, offered her an impossible choice: marry him or die. It was supposed to be protection. A cold arrangement. Nothing more. But the ruthless Capo who saved her life ignited something dangerous. Forbidden. All-consuming. Now she's pregnant, caught between the man she loves and the enemy who wants her destroyed. Because Ocean has secrets buried in blood. And when the past collides with the present, their love might not be enough to survive the war coming for them both. Some marriages are born from duty. Theirs will be made in fire.

For two long, painful years, Autumn Davis begged for even a scrap of her husband’s love. Instead, she became his favorite target...constantly torn down, never enough. Too fat. Too ugly. Too embarrassing to be seen with. When the powerful Winston family started demanding an heir, her husband, Vincent, came up with a solution no wife should ever have to hear: Sleep with a gigolo. Get pregnant. Save our marriage… or lose everything. Broken, desperate, and with nowhere left to turn, Autumn agreed. But fate had a cruel, twisted plan waiting for her in that crowded bar. The stranger she met wasn’t some paid gigolo. He was Nicholas Winston...Vincent’s ruthless billionaire uncle, the rightful heir to the entire Winston empire, and the one man she should never, ever have touched. One mistaken identity. One dangerous contract. One forbidden night that changed everything. Now desire is blurring every line between right and wrong. Buried family secrets are starting to unravel, old betrayals are rising to the surface, and a ruthless battle for the Winston empire threatens to destroy them all. Caught between the husband who never truly wanted her… and the powerful uncle who looks at her like she’s the only thing worth fighting for, Autumn doesn’t know who to trust. When love becomes the most dangerous betrayal of all… Will she keep fighting for the life that broke her heart? Or will she risk everything for the man she was never supposed to love?
