Forced into a political alliance to secure her family's mafia empire, Marcella Santos is wed to Declan McGrath, the wealthy and deceptively charming don to the Irish mob.
While Declan views Marcella as a prized possession to lock away and control, Marcella's heart belongs entirely to another.
Caught in the high-stakes crossfire of family duty, a possessive new husband, and a dangerous, forbidden longing, Marcella must play the perfect bride to survive a world designed to lock her away.
As loyalty fractures, desire turns treacherous, and a brutal war between rival families looms, Marcella is forced to play the role of the perfect bride while secretly falling for the only man whose love could destroy them all.
In a world where marriages are contracts, love is the most dangerous betrayal of all.
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful." - Oscar Wilde.
