Three simple rules

But the most important of them all: don’t fall for your fake spouse. Especially when they have blood on their hands.

GIULIA

Second child of a second son, I never thought I’d be used in a political marriage for the mafia. Yet to save my cousin, I bound myself to a dangerous man.

Andrea Capaldi.

Trapped in a foreign country with a man I hate, who’ll use me like every other man before him, my only shield is the three rules I wrote into our contract.

Falling for my fake husband would be worse than the pit of snakes surrounding us or the threatening war ahead.

ANDREA

Everyone I love ends up getting hurt, so I’ve stopped caring, save for my mother and younger brother. I’ve found solace in my ambitions, but when my sponsor to the West Hill Council elections demands I polish my image, I find myself in need of a wife.

Fate would have Giulia Moretti be the perfect pawn. But she was born a Queen. My Queen.

The sunshine darling of the Moretti family has a thorny side and I find myself craving her defiance, our every interaction a challenge to the barriers of our agreement. On this isle of seduction I created for her, I’m drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

Will it be worth it when I could lose her in an instant?
