I crash the wedding next door because my sister insists on it.
She says it’ll be glamorous.
She says it’s harmless.
By the end of the night, the bride is bleeding on a church floor, blood covers my hands, and the most feared mafia don in Chicago is staring at me like I already belong to him.
I saw something I was never supposed to see.
Now Silvio Barbetti gives me a choice that isn’t really a choice at all: become his wife tonight—or disappear before the real killer decides I know too much.
Silvio is twenty years older. Cold. Controlled. Violent.
The kind of man who silences rooms without raising his voice.
Now I’m trapped inside his world—his estate, his rules, his possessive touch.
I should fear him.
Instead, I notice the impossible:
the gentleness in his hands when he repairs broken music boxes late at night.
The way he watches me when he thinks I’m asleep.
The terrifying obsession growing between us.
I was supposed to be temporary.
Not the woman in his bed.
Not the mother of his child.
But now I’m pregnant with Silvio Barbetti’s heir.
And if the man I’m falling for starts believing I betrayed him… he may destroy me before anyone else can.
