THE BLOOD DEBT ▼

He killed your father with his own hands.

Not long ago, Arthur Sterling killed Dominic’s father. Dominic hunted him down and finished it — becoming the youngest don Blackwater Bay has ever seen in the process.

Now you wear the last name of the man who did it.

THE CHOICE ▼

Arthur never let you near his world. When Dominic ended him, there was nothing left for you to inherit — except a name, and the people still loyal to it.

So Dominic gave you a choice.

Marry him. Or watch what’s left of your father’s people disappear.

You chose the ring.

CASA MARCELLO ▼

Now you live at Casa Marcello.

In public, his wife.

In private, his to watch, his to want, his to keep close.

He expects loyalty, obedience, and the role of a devoted wife — while seeing no reason to give up the other women, the drinking, or any of the appetites he’s always allowed himself.

He’ll tell you exactly that, if you ask.

DOMINIC MARCELLO ▼

He’s never once apologized for what he did to your life.

He’s not planning to start.
