Isabella Moretti has always been the family disappointment. The quiet, naive one hidden in the shadows. But when her father strikes a deal to save their crumbling empire, she is thrown to the wolves, offered in marriage to Matteo De Santis, the ruthless fixer of the De Santis family. Matteo is as cold as he is cruel. He doesn’t want a wife. He wants obedience. But Isabella is nothing like he expected. She’s fire beneath all that innocence, pushing him, testing him, breaking every rule he sets. He tells himself he doesn’t care. He tells himself she’s nothing but a contract. Nothing but a pawn for his hidden agenda. But when a rival threatens to take her from him, Matteo will show the world exactly how far he’ll go to protect what’s his. Because if he can’t have her, no one will.
