Description

I've been thrown to the wolves in an arranged marriage no one will see coming. What happens when my loyalty to my family is tested by the secret gestures of my husband?

Can I hold out against my greatest enemy?

I handle my father's business. Discretely. No one knows I fix things behind the scenes and keep things running. Smoothly. When the men in the Rossi family offend would-be business partners, I'm the one who smooths things over. Without that knowledge, my father thinks the only way I can help Little Italy return to glory is to marry the new underboss of the Bianchi family – our greatest enemies.

The Rossi trades me – the family's greatest asset – to our biggest rival.

Matteo Bianchi has the chance to change the direction of his family's business and regain the Bianchi honor. Before his brother is in handcuffs, Matteo makes a grab for my hand.

He has no idea who I am or what I can do, but I just might be the key to all his dreams. If he smothers me the way my family has, he will never get my help… but if he lets me soar… I might be the answer to everything he's every wished for.

Careful, Adele Rossi, your heart won't know what to do with appreciation and love, let alone respect. What happens when your family finds out you might have traded sides?
