A contract made me his. Desire made it real.
I was never meant to be the price—
until my father’s empire went up in flames.
One contract. One signature.
Marry him… or start a war.
So I’m handed to the man my family fears most.
Salvatore Rinaldi.
Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.
A Don who doesn’t ask.
He takes.
His name for my protection.
His ring for control.
A contract that makes me his.
It’s supposed to be business.
Nothing more.
But nothing about him feels cold.
Not the way he watches me like I already belong to him.
Not the way his hands claim what the contract started.
Not the way he says mine… like it was never a choice.
Then everything changes.
Now I’m not just his wife.
I’m carrying his heir.
And when the truth comes out.
When I realize this contract was never meant to protect me.
It’s already too late.
Because I’m not escaping him.
I’m becoming his.
