I was born a mafia princess, the only daughter of the most powerful man in Italy. My purpose has always been to marry well, to be used to form an alliance that will benefit my father–and the man he chooses for me.
But now I’m being used for revenge.
For two years, Andre Leone has been kept as a my father’s prisoner, under house arrest on one of his estates. For two years, he plotted how he would bring my father down. And now, he’s taken his first step.
He’s taken me.
Andre intends to wed me, bed me, and ensure that I have his child. And when that’s done? He’ll make sure my father’s reign as head of the Italian mafia ends–and his begins. He’ll stop at nothing to ensure that happens, and from the moment he touches me, I hate him. But what I don’t expect is that I want him, too. There’s more to him than meets the eye, and as much as I try not to see it, I can’t ignore that not everything is as black and white as I always believed.
The cruel Leone heir owns my body. And now that I’m his, he might just claim my heart, too.
