He didn't want a wife. She didn't want a life built on violence. But love isn't a choice in the mafia-it's a battlefield.
When innocent yet defiant Dorothy Auguste is forced into an arranged marriage with cold-blooded mafia boss Vincent Edward, she enters a world where power is everything and trust is a myth. In this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance, her name becomes currency-and her survival, a daily negotiation.
Vincent Edward has built an empire through fear, blood, and silence. Women are disposable. Loyalty is business. But the bride delivered to his doorstep is nothing like the submissive pawn he expected. Dorothy is fire, and fire has no master.
As they navigate their forced union, deadly alliances, and secret betrayals, desire grows. So does danger.
