Eleanor Whitfield is twenty-four and out of options. Her father's hedge fund has been propped up for six years by quiet Marchetti money, and now the men in the dark suits have a price they want paid: marriage. To Lorenzo Marchetti. In six weeks. At the Pierre. With the Times announcement scheduled for Sunday.
Lorenzo could have destroyed her family. He chose this instead. He won't tell her why.
He's thirty-six, the Don of the most disciplined crime family in Manhattan, and he runs his life the way he runs the business — by terms set in advance and honoured without exception. He gives Nell three: he will not lie to her. He will not always answer. He will tell her the truth when it costs.
She thinks she can survive a marriage of competence.
She is not prepared for the man who keeps his promises.
She is even less prepared for what those promises will cost when the bill comes due.
A slow-burn, on-page-explicit, moderate-dark mafia arranged-marriage romance
