LUCA SCALERA
I’m the brother with no special skill. I’m just the prop covering for my identical twin. With the old Don dead and Stephano now living in Italy, all I want is out of the Mafia.
Until our new Don summons me. I am to marry Milana Petrov—a transaction to keep our sister safe. My first question is for how long, divorce and freedom a siren call.
Then I meet my bride…and it is her. The woman whose images I had to scrub off the internet for Ivan Petrov. My secret obsession. My dream. My downfall. Except she’s so changed, I hardly recognize her. The light in her eyes is gone. She’s ruled by a dark desperation, and I feel it keenly: the same need to get out and away. When I stumble on her why it almost destroys me.
She is my wife. I’ve pledged myself to her, for better or worse. Brutal vows that will test me, because taking Milana to Russia on one last errand breaks the blood oath between Il Consiglio and the Petrov Bratva.
She doesn’t know it yet, but I’ll bleed for her, burn for her, anything to prove I’m worthy of her…even sacrifice my life.
MILANA PETROVA
I should’ve disappeared in Russia, out of our family, out of the Bratva. But our father is dying, and my brother Ivan barely survived a coup—I had to come say goodbye.
But now I’m trapped in America, everyone clueless of what’s at stake. I have to escape by any means, even an arranged marriage to one of the Scalera brothers.
I don’t trust men. I’ll never love again. I plan to use Luca Scalera just long enough to run. But my new husband has plans of his own. Plans to woo me, to make me laugh, to reverse time and bring back the woman I once was…
Yet when he stumbles upon my secret, something fierce awakens in him. A protector. A man ready to burn the world to make things right.
I never expected an ally. I never expected Luca. I never thought he’ll defy his Don and my Pakhan by breaking all the rules for me—and face certain death in Russia if things go wrong. If we survive my forbidden return to the motherland, I’ll have to admit the truth: I’ve fallen for my husband and can never let him go.
