I chose him. I was forced to.
But I never expected Mateo Marcelli to be battling his demons. Known as the most ruthless consigliere, he seals every deal-whether his enemies agree or not. The world fears him. The underground bows to him.
And now, I'm bound to him.

Twisting fear into desire. My heart whispers a truth my mind refuses to accept: Mateo Marcelli will never hurt me.
