The men in my family keep dying.
First, my uncle is crushed beneath his tractor.
Then another relative burns alive inside our barn.
The sheriff calls them accidents.
But accidents don’t watch from beyond the fence.
Now the bank is taking our Texas ranch, my father is dying, and the hospital won’t continue his treatment until we pay a bill we can’t afford.
Then Vito Barbetti returns.
Thirteen years older. Mercilessly possessive. A Mafia Don powerful enough to erase every debt with a single phone call.
He can save my father.
He can save our home.
And the only payment he’ll accept is me.
By sunset, I’m his wife.
By sunrise, my father is dead.
While we’re preparing his grave, an old pipe ruptures beneath the earthand black oil bleeds through the soil.
Suddenly, our worthless ranch is worth millions.
And someone has already killed to possess it.
Strangers gather beyond our fences. Records disappear. Bullets tear through my childhood home.
Vito answers by filling the ranch with armed men and sleeping beside me every night.
I should fear the husband who bought my vows.
Instead, every scorching touch makes me crave the man beneath the monsterand every brutal promise makes this marriage feel dangerously real.
Then the ultrasound reveals two tiny heartbeats.
I’m carrying the Mafia Don’s twins.
Now our enemies aren’t only coming for the oil.
They’re coming for me.
But Vito Barbetti didn’t buy a temporary bride.
And he’ll bury every man in Texas before he lets anyone take his wifeor his unborn heirs.
