I pickpocketed my way into a mafia family at nine years old.
Patrick O’Connor caught my hand in his pocket, laughed, and took me home.
He gave me his name.
His protection.
And one rule.
Protect his daughter.
For twenty years, I've done exactly that.
So when my stepsister—the Irish Mafia’s golden princess, promised to an Italian kingpin since before she could walk—begs me to help her run away with the man she actually loves…
I don't hesitate.
The plan is simple.
Dante Salvatore has never seen his bride.
No one in the Italian syndicate has.
They were always meant to meet at the altar.
So I put on Erin's dress.
I take her name.
And I marry the most dangerous man in Italy.
That night, Dante Salvatore looks at me like he already owns the world.
‘Finally,’ he murmurs. ‘Mine.’
I swallow. ‘Your wife. I'm just your wife.’
His dark gaze pins me in place.
'''Not just my wife,’ he says quietly. ‘You are my wife.’
Dante Salvatore didn’t build a mafia empire by trusting pretty lies.
He's watching me. Testing me. Waiting for the moment I slip.
Luca De Rosa—green eyes, snake tattoos, and a smile that promises nothing good—treats me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's war.
One night Dante orders him out of his wife's seat.
Luca only laughs.
‘You mean our wife.’
The room goes quiet enough to remind everyone exactly whose ring I'm wearing.
Gabriel Salvatore, Dante’s cousin and my new bodyguard, sees through every smile I fake.
Three powerful mafia men.
One stolen bride.
The lie was supposed to buy Erin her freedom.
Instead, it may start a war between empires.
And somehow the orphan they adopted to protect the princess…
has become the woman wearing the crown.
Because if Dante discovers I’m not the Irish princess he married…
He won't just destroy me.
He'll keep me exactly where he wants me.
And the most dangerous truth of all?
For the first time in my life…
I'm not sure I want to escape.
