Antonio Barbieri stole my heart long before we were forced to the altar.

​

Our friendship started when we were teenagers. Inseparable. Unbreakable.

The kind of bond that felt like forever.

Nineteen years later, forever came in the form of a secret wedding in Vegas. But not for love.

It was about obligation.

A contract signed by our fathers long ago, binding our families together in name only.

But from the moment our lips first met as husband and wife, nothing felt the same.

The lines between duty and desire have blurred.

What started as a marriage of convenience has become something dangerously intoxicating.

I’ve given him my body, and my heart has followed.

But right as we’ve surrendered to the fire between us, our newfound hope for the future is tossed into turmoil. The Barbieri Corporation is under threat, and Antonio is the target.

This is no longer just business—our faceless enemies are getting personal.

And they’re coming for me next.

On our wedding day, Antonio vowed to protect me.

What neither of us realized was that my need for protection would come sooner than we ever imagined.

Now the only vow that matters is the one we didn’t take: Love.

And it will be tested through chaos and danger.

​

The price of failure? Everything we’ve fought so hard to hold on to.
