The Consigliere's Promise
Matteo is the most feared mind behind the Cosa Nostra-the eldest of three brothers, a ruthless consigliere, and a man untouched by emotion. Love has never had a place in his world. Until one night changes everything.
Forced to attend a high-profile gala hosted by his legitimate front business, Matteo goes only to keep up appearances. But when danger strikes, he saves Aria-the sheltered heiress of a powerful empire-and in that instant, he knows one undeniable truth: she is his.
What begins as an unexpected rescue spirals into a dangerous engagement. Matteo becomes Aria's fianc , her sworn protector, and the man who will destroy anyone who dares to touch what belongs to him. She has no idea he rules from the shadows of the mafia-or that his enemies are already watching.
Aria has spent her life as a bargaining chip, raised without love and groomed to marry for power. With Matteo, she discovers desire, devotion, and a fierce love she never believed possible.
Torn between obsession, loyalty to the mafia, and the woman who owns his soul, Matteo makes a choice that defies everything he has ever believed in: he chooses love, family, and a future he never planned-including fatherhood to triplets.
But when an enemy threatens his wife and children, Matteo Salvatore must decide how far he's willing to go.
Because a promise made by the consigliere is written in blood-and he always collects what is owed.
