He didn’t just kidnap me. He claimed me.
For twenty-four years, I was the perfect, obedient daughter. I reviewed contracts, managed the books, and stayed invisible—a useful asset to the De Santis family. I thought my father valued me. I was wrong. He sold me to settle a debt.
Dante Marchetti is the most dangerous man in the city. Cold. Calculating. Cruel. He takes me from my father’s house in the dead of night, and by morning, I’m wearing his ring.
But Dante doesn’t want a wife. He wants revenge. And I’m the perfect weapon against the family that destroyed his. The question is: when his vengeance is complete, will he still want me—or will I become another casualty of his war?
