He inherited an empire the night his father died at her sister's engagement party.

Now Dante Marchetti has thirty days, five families circling and one debt his enemies expect him to collect. Me.

I am Aria Castellano. The only daughter of the man who used to bow to his. To stop a war that would burn Manhattan to the ground my father has signed me away in a peace pact. A wedding ring. A walk down the aisle of Saint Patrick's. Then a stranger's house. A stranger's name. A stranger's bed.

Dante does not want a wife.

He wants the traitor who put a bullet in his father and he is very sure that traitor sleeps under my last name.

I am supposed to be quiet. Decorative. A treaty wrapped in a wine red dress. Except I saw the shooter that night. I know things I am not supposed to know. Things that could save the man who married me. Things that could destroy the man who raised me.

He gave me three rules. Do not leave the estate. Do not ask about business. Do not fall in love.

I have already broken the only one that matters.
