Two prestigious families. 
One arranged marriage. 
One mistake.


 Xavier Marcello has been Sophie Marin’s burden from birth. As the eldest Marin offspring, her pledge to the man has been decades in the making, a fruitful checkmate that will bind two of the most powerful households in the New York Mafia. 

Through blood and tears, Sophie discovers how infallible her future is as the wife to a future Capo. To imagine an escape is futile. There is no hope for a different life. No hope for love, forged by respect. The man she’s bound to is a renowned Don Juan, a violent predator, making up for what he lacked in his youth. 

He’ll own New York. With a word, he’ll dispatch his enemies, trained to forget he has a heart. She’s convinced she’ll live the rest of her life in fear of the man in her bed… until she’s actually there, finding that the man behind the name is not at all like he’s painted. 

And in fact, they are more alike than they could possibly imagine.
