Valentina Moretti has been trained her entire life to play the perfect daughter - polished smile, poised words, and a mask that never slips. But perfection doesn't protect her when her father arranges her marriage to Lorenzo D'Angelo, the ruthless man who already knows the taste of her lips... from a reckless one-night stand neither of them expected to remember.
Two weeks in his penthouse are all that stand between her freedom and the wedding she never wanted. But in Lorenzo's world, freedom is an illusion, and every touch feels like both a threat and a promise.
The closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to tell which danger is greater - the man she's being forced to marry, or the truths she's been hiding behind her mask.
