My twin sister drugged me and left me to marry the mafia Don in her place—and he knew the moment he lifted my veil.
I expect Cesare Monti to stop the wedding and expose the switch. Instead, he threatens to kill everyone I love if I don’t play the perfect bride. So I say “I do” to a man who terrifies me.
He gives me a week to consummate our marriage—to claim what I’ve never given anyone. But those first two days, he surprised me. Gives me space when I’m breaking. Ask what I want instead of taking.
Touches me with a gentleness I never expected. I fold on day two. Willingly. Then everything shifts. He defends me to his family when they call me the imposter. Listen when I speak.
The forced marriage becomes everything I want. Now I’m in love with the killer who forced me down that aisle and pregnant with his baby. And someone inside his inner circle sold us out.
Every weakness. Every secret. Including me. If he doesn’t reach me in time, our daughter will never take her first breath. If Cesare can’t find the traitor in time— The empire falls.
And everything we built together dies with it.
