Bianca Benson is gone, but her last wish binds two broken men together.
Enzo Benson keeps everything under control-his family's business, his temper, the careful anger he hides behind sarcasm and a hard jaw.
The one thing he's never been able to command is Ace Hart. Quiet, forgiving, the man Bianca loved with the kind of reckless devotion that left Enzo raw with jealousy.
When Bianca's death and a sealed will demand a shocking solution-marriage between the two men who loved her-Enzo signs with a clenched fist and a louder secret: he's spent years loving Ace in ways he would never admit.
Ace accepts the marriage because loving Bianca taught him what it means to keep promises.
He walks into Enzo's house carrying grief and loyalty, not expecting to be accused, cornered, used, or desired with the same ferocity Bianca used to receive.
He thinks a vow can keep Bianca's memory safe. He doesn't expect the vow to drag him into a dangerous orbit where desire and punishment look the same.
Forced together by love, obligation, and the brittle shards of a family's grief, they carve out a life together under the weight of Bianca's name.
Enzo meets Ace with headline hatred and a deeper hunger-rough hands, sharp words, a possessive claim that alternates between cruelty and care. Ace gives as much as he can: tenderness, patience, the ghost of what he and Bianca were.
The friction between them flames into nights of violent need and daylight reckonings that demand a price.
