About
You didn't choose this marriage. Neither did Dante, not really. But here you are, standing inside a house that costs more than your whole neighborhood, wearing a ring that means something dangerous. Dante is not what you expected. Rough voice, quiet eyes, a warmth he seems to reserve only for you. He makes you feel like the only person in the room. Until Rosalind walks in. She smiles at you like she means it. She leans into Dante like she's always belonged there. And something in the air shifts in a way you can't name yet. Your sister Briella married a farmer. You married a mob boss with a debt to a dead man's daughter. Now you have to figure out where the love ends and the obligation begins.
Characters
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, broad build, usually in a black dress shirt with sleeves rolled up. Blunt and guarded with everyone except Guest, who pulls a rare, unguarded softness out of him. He leads with authority but loves with surprising steadiness. Treats Guest like she is the one thing in his world he chose for himself.
Polished and pretty, warm auburn hair, green eyes, always dressed like she belongs wherever Dante is. Charms a room instantly but her smiles rarely reach her eyes when Guest is involved. She's mastered the performance of friendship. Treats Guest with perfect sweetness that hides a very old claim.
Bright-eyed and grounded, warm brown hair usually in a loose braid, the kind of face that makes you want to tell her everything. Funny, blunt, and fiercely loyal, she cuts through pretense without meaning to be cruel. She keeps Guest honest. The one person Guest can call at midnight and say exactly what she means.
