A Promise Sealed In Blood

At 28, Lorenzo Corsini Moretti is the Capo dei Capi of the Italian mafia-a man feared, respected, and utterly ruthless. Power is his birthright, and loyalty is his law. When his most trusted right-hand man, who handles his business in New York, offers him a deal-marry his daughter to solidify their alliance-Lorenzo doesn't hesitate. He needs an heir, and above all, he honors loyalty. A little research tells him all he needs to know about his future wife. She is young, untouched by the darkness of his world, but that hardly matters. The deal is sealed.

Evelyne Bellrose Moreau is just 19, a gentle yet intelligent young woman raised in privilege and protected from the brutal truths of her father's work. She is kind, a little naïve, but mature enough to understand her duty. When her father tells her she must marry a man she has never met, she doesn't question him-she never has. Obedience is all she has ever known.

But stepping into Lorenzo's world means leaving behind everything she once believed in. She is now the wife of the most powerful man in the world mafia, a man whose love is as dangerous as his enemies.

Bound by duty, sealed in blood-this marriage was never meant to be about love. But in a world of violence and betrayal, love might be their only salvation... or their greatest downfall.
