She was never meant to want him.
In the hushed boardrooms where Manhattan's elite trade power like currency, Alessandra Conti signs away her future to the man her enemies fear most. Nicolai Voss does not ask for her obedience. He takes it. One glance from those glacier eyes and her pulse betrays every vow she made to guard herself.
Their wedding night is not gentle. His hands map her body with the same precision he uses to dismantle rivals, finding places she never knew ached to be touched. She hates how completely he unravels her. He cannot stop needing the way she trembles and still demands more. In silk sheets and between harsh breaths, they discover something neither bargained for: the dangerous intimacy of being truly seen.
But the past that cost her everything has not finished with Alessandra. Old betrayals coil through their world, threatening the fragile trust built on bruised lips and whispered secrets in the dark. When the organization demands she prove her loyalty in ways that could destroy him, she must choose between the empire that is her birthright and the man who has claimed not just her body but the guarded heart she swore no one would ever reach.
This is a full-length dark mafia erotic romance with an arranged marriage, explicit scenes, and a possessive hero who will burn the world before he lets her go.
