More about the book

From New York Times best-seller Claire Contreras comes a new, sexy stand-alone mafia romance. Isabel Bonetti's life turns upside down when she receives a call about her father's will shortly after his sudden death. Expecting little from her blue-collar father, she is shocked to discover not only a substantial inheritance but also that he married her off to a stranger without her consent. Determined to secure a divorce, she arrives at her husband’s nightclub, ready to confront him. Giovanni Masseria is equally taken aback by the unexpected marriage to Isabel, the daughter of a man he barely knew. Initially uninterested in the union, he realizes that remaining married could benefit his ambitions for the empire he is building. He plans to keep the marriage brief until he encounters Isabel, who storms into his office demanding a divorce. To his surprise, she is not what he expected, and he finds himself drawn to her presence. Despite knowing their worlds are incompatible, Giovanni struggles with the reality that she is now his wife, complicating his plans and emotions.
