"I need to marry you." He laughed. "Marry me? You're out of your mind." "Probably," I said calmly. "But I don't have another choice." His smile turned dangerous. "Then pick someone else. I am Luca Marino... The Monster." I met his eyes. "That's exactly why I picked you." My father died, leaving me a shattered empire and a death sentence. To save my family, I offered myself to the one man powerful enough to protect us. Luca Marino. The Mafia king everyone fears. Our marriage is a contract, not a love story. Power for him. Protection for me. But Luca doesn't play fair. He kisses like a threat and touches like a promise. And every time I think I've figured him out, he ruins me all over again. I'm playing a dangerous game. And I'm falling for the most dangerous man alive.
