Clara Sterling writes stories about enchanted forests, gentle princes, and happily-ever-afters.
Unfortunately, her own life feels nothing like a fairytale.
When her debt-ridden family forces her into an arranged marriage, she finds herself standing at the altar beside Matteo Moretti-the newly crowned Don of the most feared mafia family in the country. Cold-eyed, ruthless, and known as the Iron Grim, Matteo is a man whispered about in fear.
To Clara, he is the villain from every nightmare.
To Matteo, she is simply a political obligation.
But while Clara fills their silent mansion with notebooks, stuffed animals, and endless imagination, Matteo begins to discover something he has never known in his bloodstained world: peace.
The longer they remain together, the harder it becomes to ignore the fragile warmth growing between them. Yet enemies lurk in the shadows, and the crown Matteo inherited comes at a deadly price.
As war closes in and secrets threaten to tear them apart, Matteo must decide whether to remain the monster his world demands-or become the man Clara believes he can be.
In a marriage built on duty, can a dreamer teach a beast how to love?
