A dark enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a powerful mafia heir, a southern law student, and an arrangement that was never meant to feel like love… until it did.
Sabato
Power. Control. Revenge. That’s the code I live by. I was raised to rule, trained to take what’s mine, and warned never to fall for anyone.
But the moment I laid eyes on Melyssa Chance, I knew she was exactly what I needed to claim my new kingdom—and maybe, just maybe, cleanse the sins I was born into.
She was never supposed to be more than leverage.
One night, I take her.
Not gently. Not fairly.
But completely.
She thinks it’s about lust. It isn’t.
She thinks she’ll walk away. She won’t.
Because this southern girl with fire in her eyes and steel in her spine just became my future.
And she’ll marry me—whether she wants to or not.
Melyssa
I came to New Jersey for law school. I didn’t come to be kidnapped by a smooth-talking, dangerously obsessive Italian with mafia blood and a God complex.
But Sabato Efisto doesn’t ask. He decides. And now I’m trapped in a world of velvet lies, hard truths, and silk sheets that feel far too good beneath my skin.
He says the marriage is strategic. A deal. Protection, even.
But when he touches me, it feels like something darker. Possessive. Addictive. Real.
And the scariest part?
I’m starting to want it.
