He is the most feared boss of the Cosa Nostra.
She is the price paid for betrayal.
Matteo doesn’t forgive. He doesn’t hesitate. And he never shows mercy. As the ruthless head of one of Italy’s most powerful mafias, he destroys traitors without a second thought-until a debt is paid not in blood, but in a woman.
Alessa never chose this life. With her angelic face and fragile heart, she is thrown into the brutal world of the mafia as collateral for her father’s betrayal. Delivered straight into the hands of a man known for cruelty, she knows one truth from the start: her life can end at any moment.
But when enemies close in and Matteo becomes her unexpected shield, Alessa discovers something far more dangerous than fear-desire. Beneath the cold control of the mafia boss is a man capable of obsession, possession... and a love that comes at a deadly price.
For Alessa to survive, Matteo makes a single decision.
She will belong to him.
As his wife.
