Tessa Thompson has spent her whole life being treated like a bargaining chip — polished, displayed, and handed over whenever her father needs something.
This time, what he needs is a marriage alliance that will save the family from social and financial ruin.
Alberto Vanni never wanted love. As Manhattan’s newest mafia capo, he needs legitimacy, old-money access, and a wife who can open doors violence cannot. Tessa is meant to be a clean arrangement: one public marriage, separate lives, no feelings involved.
Then everything becomes complicated. Because Tessa is not just a trophy wife: she is fierce, smart, and far too beautiful to resist. Even when she infuriates him. Especially then.
Feelings were never part of the plan. And when the cartel comes for Manhattan, Tessa becomes the perfect leverage against the ruthless capo who swore he didn’t have a heart.
But Alberto is done pretending. Tessa is not just his wife in name.
She is his queen.
And he’ll burn the city down before he lets anyone take her from him.
This novella has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. It can be read as a standalone.
