Bound to the Italian Mafia

He's been watching me. Hunting me. And now he's moved in next door.

I thought I was safe hiding in plain sight as Isabella Romano, graphic designer with a quiet life and no connections to my father's bloody past.

I was wrong.

Dante Moretti is tall, dark, and covered in tattoos that tell stories of violence and power. When my car breaks down in the worst part of town, he's there. When I'm locked out of my apartment, he appears like magic.

When danger comes for me, he's ready to burn the world down.

But Dante isn't my savior—he's my trap.

The gorgeous stranger with killer eyes and gentle hands has been orchestrating every moment between us. Our meeting wasn't chance. Our attraction isn't coincidence. And the wedding he's planned? It's not about love—it's about ending a war between our families that's been raging for decades.

My father stole something that powerful people will kill to get back.

Now the FBI wants me as bait. The Santangelo crime family wants me dead. And Dante? He wants me as his wife, his possession, his to protect at any cost.

I should run. I should disappear like my father taught me.

Instead, I'm falling for the beautiful monster who calls me his future.

Because when Dante touches me, I forget about the danger. When he kisses me, I forget about the lies. And when he promises to choose me over everything—his family, his empire, his life—I believe him.

Even if believing him gets us both killed.
