Some decisions change your life.
This one might end mine.
My wedding day was certain to seal my fate.
Bartered off in marriage to a monster, my existence merely a business deal to cement the aspirations of two crime families.
But I don't follow anyone's rules and had no intention of going into that dark night.
Instead of driving to a flashy cathedral ceremony, I plotted my disappearance, taking the evidence I've collected with me.
But I hadn't planned on the booby trap that scuppers all my plans
Abducted by mafia killing machine Alessio Gallo—ruthless, dangerous, intoxicating.
Extricated from one gilded cage only to be locked up in another.
Now we're both in peril. La Cosa Nostra always exacts vengeance. My fake fiance will come for me when he realizes what I have on him.
As I try to make my abductor see the threat we face, I struggle to maintain my loathing for everything he is.
There are one or two teensy obstacles holding me back:
His muscular physique makes my knees buckle.
His touch awakens parts of me I never knew existed.
His dark gaze breaches the walls I've built around my heart.
His possession has me questioning everything I was taught to believe.
As the line between captor and savior blurs I find myself facing an impossible choice.
Escape from yet another demon intent on holding me captive.
Or risk everything for a man who should be my enemy.

Alessio
I check my watch again. Five minutes until the Lombardi princess is supposed to appear. The bridesmaids have already filed out in their matching champagne-colored dresses, giggling and adjusting each other's hair as they climbed into the first car. Now I wait beside the second vehicle, a sleek black Mercedes with darkened windows. Perfect for what comes next.
The wedding planner—some nervous woman with a clipboard and an earpiece—climbs into the front passenger seat, muttering about schedules and timing. She doesn't even glance at me. I'm just another security goon to her, another black suit blending into the background.
Little does she know.
Damiano's orders from two days ago still ring in my ears. "The Lombardis have betrayed us, Alessio. We have proof. And this wedding—this fucking alliance with the Fortins—will destroy everything my father built."
I'd seen the evidence myself. Bank statements. Recorded conversations. Photos of Antonio Lombardi meeting with our enemies. The Lombardis weren't just making a political marriage—they were forming a coalition to wipe the Ferettis off the map.
"Take the daughter," Damiano had said, his voice deadly calm in that way that always means trouble. "Before the ceremony. No blood, no mess. Just make her disappear."
A hostage. A bargaining chip. Maybe more, depending on what she knows about her father's business.
The massive doors of the Lombardi estate open, and there she is. Melania Lombardi, draped in white silk and lace. I've seen photos but they didn't capture the reality of her. The curves barely contained by the structured bodice. The way she moves—careful but not timid. Something in her eyes I didn't expect: calculation.
This isn't some weeping bride overwhelmed by her big day. This woman is thinking. Planning. Interesting.
She descends the steps alone.
I step forward, opening the car door with a slight bow. "Signorina Lombardi."
Her eyes meet mine and for a second, I see something flash across her face. Not recognition—we've never met. Something else. Relief? That can't be right.
"You're not the usual driver," she says, her voice steady.
I smile, the practiced smile that reveals nothing. "Change of plans, signorina. Your father insisted on additional security today."
She hesitates, clutching a portfolio tight against her side. My instincts sharpen. Whatever's in there matters to her.
"After you," I gesture to the open door, keeping my voice respectful but firm.
She takes a deep breath and slides into the backseat.
I close the door behind her and walk around to the driver's side.
Time to make a bride disappear.
