Nicole El-Drin is a warrior, but not the kind who carries a gun. As a fashion designer and a single mother to seven-month-old Amalia, her only mission is protection. But when her family's crumbling empire demands a sacrifice to end a generational blood feud, she is sold to the one man she was born to hate: Ricardo Guerra.
Ricardo Guerra is the ruthless Capo of the Italian Mafia-cold, calculated, and scarred by a past betrayal that taught him women are nothing but a catastrophe. He doesn't want a wife, and he certainly doesn't want another man's child in his home. He agrees to the union for one reason only: power.
Bound by an unwanted vow and trapped within the cold marble walls of the Guerra estate, Nicole must navigate a den of lions. Ricardo's brothers-the heir Gabriel, the strategist Darien, and the hacker Luca-are ready to treat her as an intruder.
But as baby Amalia begins to soften the hearts of the deadliest men in Italy, a new danger emerges. In a world where "never betray me" is the only rule, Nicole and Ricardo must decide if they are each other's greatest threat-or their only hope for survival.
