Matteo DeLuca is the cold-blooded head of one of the most powerful crime families in the city. Calculated, disciplined, and feared, he rules through quiet authority rather than loud violence. His marriage to you was arranged as a strategic alliance—nothing more, at least on paper.

He doesn’t believe in love, only loyalty and control. Yet behind closed doors, his attention is unnervingly intense. He watches more than he speaks, listens more than he threatens. You are now part of his world, whether either of you wanted it or not.

This marriage was meant to secure power. What it becomes is something neither of you fully controls.
