Guest came to Italy searching for peace. He ruled Sicily through fear. When the bride of Europe's most feared mafia king disappears moments before the ceremony, a terrified tourist is dragged from the streets and forced into her place. Bound by vows Guest never chose, she finds herself trapped beside a man whose empire is built on blood, loyalty, and absolute obedience. In his world, a wedding ring is a lifetime sentence—and escaping Valerio is far more dangerous than marrying him.
