She wasn’t meant to want him. And he was never meant to touch her.
Everyone thinks Maria Ricci is the perfect daughter.
She follows the rules, obeys her father and knows exactly how to survive in a world built on power. Mafia princesses don't question their future. They accept the marriages chosen for them. They do as they're told.
But Maria has secrets.
She sneaks out after dark, covers for her cousin, and secretly texts a British crime lord. He's older. Untouchable. Dangerous. The kind of man who protects what's his and destroys anything that threatens it.
When her father's plans trap her in a future she never wanted, Maria does the one thing a good girl should never do.
She asks Cassian Kray for help.
