The boy I loved was dead. Then he walked into my wedding.
I was standing at the altar, about to marry a Don twice my age.
And a dead man stood at the back of the cathedral and watched me say yes.
Five years ago, my father's men beat him bloody in our orchard for falling asleep beside me.
The last thing he said to me was don't cry.
I kept that promise through three countries and every wrong man.
I kept it the morning I heard he was gone.
Now he's back.
Harder. Colder.
My husband's right hand. His most trusted blade.
The man who owes Tomaso Vitale his life.
And the man assigned to guard my door.
He calls me Mrs. Vitale.
Won't look at me.
Won't touch me.
But I heard his fist hit that door when I asked if it tortured him.
I heard him say one word through the wood like it was a sin.
Hers.
He will never betray the man who saved him.
I will never be anything but another man's wife.
One of us is going to open that door.
And once we do, we're never closing it again.
A steamy, full-length mafia romance packed with second chances, forbidden love, arranged marriage, a morally gray bodyguard, he-watched-her-marry-another-man angst, and a guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
