When Seraphina "Sera" Russo, the daughter of a disgraced mafia family, is forced into an arranged marriage to the ruthless kingpin, Aleksandr "Alek" Romano, she swears she'll never bow to him. He's cold, calculating, and deadly, with a reputation for being untouchable. She's headstrong, reckless, and dangerous in her own way-a pawn in a game she never agreed to play. But the moment she walks down that aisle, she realizes three things: Alek doesn't want a wife. He wants control. Someone in his inner circle wants her dead. She might hate him, but she can't deny the fire between them. And when a rival mafia threatens war, their forced union might be the only thing keeping them alive. But trust doesn't come easy in their world. And falling in love with the enemy? That's a death sentence.
