Vicious Heir

I knew I’d love him forever. And I thought I’d never see him again. When we were eighteen, Elio Cattaneo walked out of my life forever. The son of an allied family sent to ours as a ward, he was always beneath me—as far as my father was concerned. But I loved him anyway. And he loved me, too. Until the day he was sent away to Chicago, and I thought I’d lost him forever. Eleven years later, he is back in Boston. No longer the boy I once loved, he is now the don of the Italian mafia, powerful and ruthless. He is home for good, but fate has other plans. A brutal attack sends me running into his arms, and I beg him to do the unthinkable, betray my brother and protect me from the man determined to make me his unwilling bride. Now we are trapped in a safe house, surrounded by danger, secrets, and the weight of everything we never said. The desire between us is impossible to deny, and when vows are forced upon us, the truth we tried to hide burns brighter than ever. He left me once before. But now that I am his, he will never let me go.
