THE WIFE HE NEVER LOVED

In her first life, she married the man she had loved since childhood.

Everyone thought she was lucky.

The daughter of one of Italy's most powerful Mafia families, married to the son of their closest allies. A perfect union. A perfect alliance. A perfect future.

Except her husband never loved her.

For years, she endured his coldness, believing that one day he would finally see her the way she saw him.

She was wrong.

Betrayed by the man she gave everything to, she died believing that she had wasted her entire life loving someone who never loved her back.

But she didn't die alone.

The man who stayed beside her until the very end was the last person she ever expected.

Her brother's best friend.

The man who had secretly loved her since they were children.

And then-

She opened her eyes.

She was seventeen again.

The night of the banquet.

The night her father was supposed to announce her future marriage.

The night everything began.

Everyone expects her to choose the same man.

Her family.

Their allies.

Her childhood love.

Even the man she once intended to marry.

But this time, she remembers everything.

And when her father asks the question that once determined her fate, she looks across the room at the man who loved her when she couldn't love him back.

Then she speaks four words that change the future of two powerful Mafia families.

"I choose him instead."

This time, she won't beg for love.

This time, she won't make the same mistake.

And this time-

she knows exactly who would die for her.
