Alessia Russo knew coming back to Chicago was dangerous. She just didn't know how dangerous until three crime families put a price on her head before her father's body was even cold.
Enter Dante Vitale: the devastatingly ruthless don who now controls everything her father built. He's got a solution to her problem—marriage. Not a real one. Just a business arrangement. Protection in exchange for access to her inheritance.
Six months. Then they walk away.
Except Dante Vitale doesn't do anything halfway.
Within twenty-four hours, Alessia's dodging bullets at her own wedding, discovering her husband looks way too good with a gun, and realizing the biggest danger isn't the families trying to kill her—it's the don who makes her feel more alive than she's ever been.
He's the cold-blooded leader who built an empire on violence and strategy.
She's the daughter of his father's greatest enemy—and worst mistake.
Their marriage was supposed to be temporary.
The chemistry between them is anything but.
But when the Russian Bratva comes calling with twenty-year-old revenge on their minds, Dante has to choose: his father's blood-soaked legacy, or the fierce, dangerous woman who's become his entire world.
And Alessia has to decide: play it safe and run, or stand and fight beside the husband who's proving that monsters can love—they just love violently, possessively, and forever.
