LUCA
They think I married Gia Santoro to save her.
The truth is uglier. I built the threat myself.
I played her brother like a card.
I signed her little rules blind because she was never going to escape me anyway.
I told myself starving for her across her family's table was strategy.
I wanted the Santoros to bleed for what they did to my brother.
I planned everything.
Except her.
GIA
My brother sold me to a rival Don and called it saving my life.
So I wrote the contract myself.
Separate rooms, no touching, a walkout clause, and Sunday dinner with the family until one of us dies.
The no-touching rule was my favorite.
I wrote it to watch it kill him.
Luca Valentino thinks he bought a hostage.
He's going to find out he bought his master.
Now we'll see which one of us breaks first.
Ruthless Grace is best read after Ruthless Vow, Ruthless Scar, and Ruthless Sin. Each book follows a new couple with a guaranteed HEA, but the world, the family, and the stakes run deeper if you start at Book 1.
Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, arranged/forced marriage, mafia Don x trauma surgeon, marriage of convenience with rules, touch-starved forbidden proximity, slow-burn to scorching, Sunday dinners with the enemy, morally gray obsessed MMC, guaranteed HEA.
