De santis bride

* She was the price of a debt. He never expected her to become his greatest weakness.

* A marriage forged by power. A love born from hate.

* "A debt can be repaid with money... or with a bride."

Rebecca Zara Hayes has spent her entire life proving she belongs at the top. As the ruthless CEO of Hayes Enterprises, she's built an empire in a world where power is earned, not inherited. She never expected the greatest betrayal to come from the man she trusted most-her own father.

When Samuel Hayes fails to honor a dangerous deal with the infamous De Santis family, there's only one payment the heir to the empire will accept.

Rebecca.

Lorenzo Alessandro De Santis is cold, calculating, and destined to become the next Don. He doesn't want a wife.

He wants revenge.

Forced into a marriage neither of them chose, Rebecca and Lorenzo become prisoners of a contract signed in blood. Every conversation is a battle. Every touch is unwanted. Every secret brings them closer to a war that could destroy everything they know.

But some lies are buried deeper than blood.

As enemies close in and old betrayals resurface, Rebecca uncovers a truth that shatters her identity and places her at the center of three of the most powerful mafia empires in America.

In a world ruled by loyalty, power, and vengeance...

Will she remain Rebecca Hayes...

Or become the woman she was always meant to be?
