Federica Berardi has spent years fixing everyone else’s messes — until her brother’s latest mistake costs more than money.
It costs her freedom.
Valerio Greco has loved Federica for years, but she was always the one woman he couldn’t touch: his best friend’s sister, too proud to ask for help and too precious to drag into his violent world.
Then Camillo sells her hand to pay his debts.
Marrying Federica is supposed to protect her. Instead, it puts her beside him, under his roof, and straight in the path of the cartel that destroyed his family. She wants to hate him for taking her choice. He wants to keep his distance. But forced proximity has a way of turning old longing into fire.
And when Valerio’s enemies come for his new wife, they’ll learn too late that the only thing more dangerous than a ruthless mafia capo is the woman he’s willing to burn the world for.
This novella has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. It can be read as a standalone.
