I stole a missing bride’s name to enter the Valenti estate.
I came for revenge.
All I had to do was wear her pearls, take her place beside Massimo Valenti, and survive long enough to learn which Valenti destroyed my family.
But Massimo sees through me before I finish the lie.
The mafia heir knows I’m not the woman promised to him. Instead of exposing me, he locks the gates and makes me a dangerous bargain: help him uncover what happened to the woman I replaced, or become the next secret buried in his family’s house.
Now I’m trapped under his roof with the man I came to ruin, and every touch makes it harder to remember his family destroyed mine, and he could destroy me with one word.
Because someone already killed the last woman who wore these pearls.
And if they learn who I really am, I’m next.
A dark, standalone mafia romance. Secret identity. Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger.
Genre: Mystery
