Elani Covington always understood sacrifice. Raised by parents whose love survived long before power ever touched their family name, she grew up believing loyalty meant protecting the people you love - even when it costs you everything. With only two months left before graduating university, Elani thought she still had time to decide who she wanted to become outside of her family's legacy. Then grief changed everything. Now, with her family's future hanging by a thread, Elani is forced into a marriage that could either save them all or destroy what remains. She knows the rules of their world. The silence. The bloodshed. The deals made behind closed doors. But knowing the game and wanting to be part of it were always two different things. Alessio Moretti learned that lesson young. Sent from Italy to oversee the western branch of the Sicilian mafia, Alessio was raised between the softness of his mother's love and the ruthless expectations of his father. Quiet, calculating, and impossible to read, he became the kind of man people underestimated until it was too late. A charming face hiding a deadly hand. With his father dying and war brewing beneath the surface of the city, Alessio is left with a choice that could cost him everything his family built. And somewhere between grief, loyalty, and a marriage neither of them truly chose, two lives become tied together in ways neither of them could've prepared for. Because in their world, love was never the dangerous part. Survival was.

Even if we have done this multiple times before, I still felt shy about the whole process, which is why I was so glad he always took the lead.

The only thing that saved me was being dark-skinned, because he would have seen red streaks all over my face if I weren't. I bite my lip and he looks down at it hungrily, "Don't bite your lip, I want to do that." "Giovanni?" I manage to say and he stares down at me with hooded eyes, "Shut up and go eat!" I push his chest but he doesn't budge. His colored eyes go dark, "I'm waiting for my meal to spread her legs."
