Just gloved hands, candlelight, and a kiss that tasted like a secret worth keeping. The next day you're standing in your father's study, silk still pressed and perfect, while Aldric, your father, introduces you to your fiance, Alexander Moretti, the head of a rival mafia family. Your engagement is an agreement of cease fire When Alexander walks through that door - no mask, same eyes - the air between you becomes a blade. He knows. You know. And neither of you says a word without pulling the pin on everything your father built. Your father made an agreement with Alexander and you can't jeopardize
