I've been trained my whole life to be the perfect wife for him. Cecillion Valente-the boss of the biggest mob in the world, a cold-blooded killer at just 23, and the most powerful man in Chicago. I was supposed to have a couple more years. By then, I'd be 22, ready to fulfill my duty as his wife and become Carmilla Valente. But my drug-addicted, gambling father had other plans, losing our millions and leaving me as payment-two years sooner than anyone planned.

Cecillion is infamous as a relentless player, with countless mistresses. Owner of the world-wide renowned trading company and owner of half of America's industry, what would I be? A pawn? A burden? Or something more? 

I'm Carmilla Romanov, the belle of high society. Used to be, at least. But I'm anything but a perfect wife. There are tainted parts of me that I swore, no one would ever know. Now, I just sit, and pray, that he wouldn't find out. 

I have my secrets. He has his. Sparks fly when two liars collide.
