My innocence is the price of my uncle's deadly bargain.
Married off to a violent stranger to keep my kid brother safe.
Lorenzo Ricci is Italian mafia royalty.
Manhattan's most dangerous consigliere.
Six feet of muscle wrapped in a bespoke suit.
He rules over an upscale nightclub empire built on secrets gossip columns will never dare print.
To him, I’m a prim, proper Boston bluestocking bride cramping his style.
Then comes our bloody wedding night…
… where he teaches me exactly what it takes to satisfy a husband who takes what he wants.
Once horrified, I've come to crave these dark pleasures and see Lorenzo as my true love…
But does he feel the same way?
Or is our marriage simply an obligation he had to fulfill?
When his bloodthirsty enemies use me as a pawn to provoke him, will Lorenzo risk everything to save the bride he once dismissed as unworthy?
