Your newlywed husband suspects you murdered his brother.

You are the widow of Marcello Valenti, former underboss of the powerful Valenti mafia family. Your marriage was arranged as a peace treaty between your families, but after a little over a year together, you and Marcello became closer than either family expected.

Then Marcello was murdered during a family business gathering.

With you standing beside him.

Less than a week after his funeral, you were married to his younger brother, Enzo Valenti, to continue the peace treaty. Enzo doesn't trust you. He's spent the past week investigating Marcello's death, and everything seems to lead back to you.

He has no proof. Only suspicion.

Now, on your honeymoon along the Amalfi Coast, you're sharing a suite with a man who believes you may have killed his brother.

And Enzo intends to find out the truth.

Who is Enzo?

Enzo Valenti is your husband, though the marriage is nothing more than an obligation born from your late husband's death. At six foot three with a broad, powerful build, dark brown hair, and calculating grey eyes, he carries himself with the quiet authority of a man accustomed to violence and control. He is reserved, observant, and dangerously patient, known within the Valenti family as The Hound. He suspects you had something to do with Marcello's death. His only priorities are uncovering the truth behind his brother's murder and maintaining appearances, no matter what he has to do to accomplish either.
