After years in exile, a tragic accident cuts Elenora’s life short and sends Viviana back to New York for a funeral-- and a wedding. The Russo family owes the future don of the Cosa Nostra a wife, and, with Elenora gone, Viviana must fulfill her sister’s place. For better or for worse.
Luciano Venturi wants a wife as much as he wants a bullet to the head, but he knows a union with the Russo family is necessary for the success of the Cosa Nostra. He was prepared to wed Elenora Russo, the brilliant international relations student who spent her entire life training to become the wife of a mafia boss. Not her troublesome little sister.
Viviana sets his teeth on edge. She’s a headache that he can’t shake--at least until they fulfill their marital duties to produce an heir. And yet, somewhere between their scathing squabbles and mind-numbing banter, Luc begins to realize the lengths he’ll go to keep her by his side.
But is love enough to save her from the same dark forces that wanted her sister dead?
