A sheltered Chicago mafia daughter must marry the brutal New York heir, risking her identity to survive.
Eighteen-year-old Aria has never witnessed the violence that underpins her Chicago family's power, raised instead in deliberate isolation. Honor shatters that protection when she is pledged to Luca, the magnetic yet merciless heir commanding the New York syndicate. The contract demands more than alliance; it requires her total surrender to a stranger forged in blood. As the ceremony approaches, Aria weighs whether yielding her body and perhaps her heart to a man who embodies everything she was shielded from constitutes betrayal of her upbringing or the only path to staying alive.
