Intro.
Willow is the daughter of a respected but struggling businessman. When her father’s debts catch up with him, he’s given only one way out—his daughter must marry Silas Russo, the heir to one of the most feared Mafia families.
Silas is ruthless, powerful, and has a reputation for handling problems with a cold efficiency. But what no one knows is that he didn’t want this marriage either. He agreed for reasons only he understands, and Willow is determined to find out why.
At first, she despises him. He’s controlling, secretive, and always surrounded by danger. But soon, the cracks begin to show—there’s more to Silas than his reputation suggests. He’s fighting his own battles, enemies who want him dead, and secrets that could shatter everything. When Willow is unexpectedly pulled into the chaos, she must decide: will she betray him and escape, or will she stand by the man she swore she’d never love?
