描述
When I flew overseas for my brother’s wedding, the last thing I expected was to come back with a wife of my own.
Arabella Rossi is the eldest daughter of one of Italy’s most powerful crime lords. When I turned to him for help in getting my nephew back—after his mother ran off with him—I knew it would come with a price, but I never imagined it would be her.
She hated me from the moment we met, and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t too fond of her either. There was a cold superiority about her; she looked at me as nothing more than an inconvenience … like I was beneath her somehow. But one thing I’ve never shied away from is a challenge, so I knew that breaking her spirit was going to be one hell of a ride.
Dante Mancini is everything I’ve come to despise. Beneath the good looks, charm, and effortless charisma, he’s what I’d best describe as a smiling assassin … dangerous, calculating, and always two steps ahead.
He’s entrenched in a world I’ve been trying to escape since I was old enough to understand its darkness. So being forced to marry him and move to a foreign country felt like a fate worse than death.
But the more time I spend with him, I begin to realise there’s a side to this man he keeps hidden from everyone but me. And as much as I hate to admit it, I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been wrong about him—about everything.
