I wasn't supposed to fall in love. I wasn't supposed to agree to be his wife. Not when I was promised to another.
There was no stopping the commitment we built so quickly and easily.
He fills my heart with hope. He messes with my mind, making me dream of a happy future. And he wrecks my body, inciting a stubborn desire that only he can satisfy.
The last thing we should do is get engaged. But I tell him yes, convinced that our love will be enough to keep us together.
Silly me. I hadn't counted on being kidnapped and taken away too soon.

The idea of Emma returning to her father or the man who'd abuse her sickens me. I'll do anything to get her back, to rescue her, but answers aren't so easy to get about where she is locked away.
More danger pops up as a constant delay. I'm held back, captured and nearly killed, but still, I will hunt for her.
She will be mine, and we will prove it when we go against the odds to escape and lie low.
Even though it's a waiting game for intel, I accept that I'm the secret heir to a family she shouldn't align with.
She vows to. And I swear I'll choose her over anything and everything else.
There's no way to predict who I can trust anymore. All I can follow is my heart. And that urges me to make her my mafia wife as soon as I can.
