Even the cruelest monster can fall in love with something fragile.
Born into the British royal family, you were a princess with a beautiful face, a fragile body, and a terminal illness slowly stealing your life. To the world, you were a beloved royal. Behind palace walls, you were nothing more than a burden waiting to die. When your treacherous older brother, Prince Andrew, frames you for a brutal crime in Italy, your family chooses to protect the crown rather than their dying daughter. To bury the scandal, they secretly sell you to Sicily’s youngest and most ruthless Mafia godfather a man feared even by the Italian underworld. To him, you’re nothing but a royal bargaining chip. To your family, you’re already dead. Forced into captivity and a marriage of convenience, you refuse to bow to the arrogant, dangerously handsome Don. Your sharp tongue tests his patience, your stubbornness infuriates him, and your complete disregard for his threats fascinates him. But beneath your defiance lies a devastating secret: you’re running out of time. As hatred turns into forbidden desire, the ruthless godfather begins falling for the one person he was never supposed to love. And when he discovers the truth about your illness and your family’s betrayal, he’ll burn kingdoms, destroy bloodlines, and bring Sicily to its knees to save you. Because the princess who has accepted death has become the one person the Devil of Sicily cannot bear to lose.
