What He Craves

By Nox Everhart

What He Craves
She Has Seven Days to Learn the Truth

My sister died in his house. So I married him to find out why.

Everyone told me not to marry into the Marchetti family. They were right. Villa Corvo is a house that buries its dead quietly and calls it tradition, and somewhere behind those wrought iron gates is the answer to what really happened to Faye.

I have seven days before the whole family gathers under one roof and whatever truth I dig up gets buried right along with her.

I didn't plan on falling for the man I married to spy on.

Dante Marchetti is cold, controlled, and dangerous in the way men become when they've spent a lifetime being obeyed. He should be my enemy. Instead he's the one warning me to be careful, the one standing between me and a family that would end me without blinking, the one who looks at me like I'm the only unguarded thing in his entire guarded life.

I don't know if I can trust him.

I don't know if I can stop wanting him either.

Every hallway in this house hides a secret. Every name starting with the same letter my sister wrote in blood is a suspect. And every night I spend under Dante's roof, in his bed, in his arms, brings me one step closer to a truth that could get us both killed.

The clock is running. The wolves are circling. And I am done pretending I don't crave every dangerous inch of him.

What He Craves is a slow-burn, forced-proximity mafia romance with a marriage of convenience, a ticking clock, and a hero who would burn his own empire down to keep her safe
