Niccolò

They thought she was unsuitable as a bride because the Irish are our enemy.

I thought that made her perfect.

She’s passive and wouldn’t mind that I will never love her.

Passive. Compliant.

I could pretend she didn’t even exist.

But I was wrong.

Siobhan

I’ve been promised to the Italians.

My father would kill me if I refused, like the others who disagreed with him.

His merciless ambitions stole the light from my eyes and silenced me in the process.

I won’t be a doormat like my mother.

So when Niccolò took me as his bride, I thought he’d dismiss me.

Even as an innocent, I see the lust in his eyes.

And I’m intoxicated by his presence.

He represents everything I hate in this world yet summons my darkest cravings to be his equal.

I can’t escape him.

The worst part is, I’m not sure I want to.

Because my life is in danger, and Niccolò may be the only man who can save me.
