Quarter-finalist for the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards

ENRICO LUCCHESI

Carlo Andretti murdered my mother and my brothers. He left my father a hollow shell of a man. And for these sins, Carlo Andretti must die.

I can’t believe my ears when my father tells me that I must marry Carlo’s daughter. That it’s the only way to save our family.

I will never love the daughter of my enemy. I will never make peace between our families. I will never be the dutiful Mafia prince my father wants.

But I will destroy the Andrettis, and I will avenge my family. No matter who I hurt, even the girl who looks at me with love in her eyes. She doesn’t know me, and she doesn’t know my past or what I’m planning. If she did, she wouldn’t look at me that way. She’d hate me, the way I hate her father. And truly, that would be for the best.

I can never love Antonella Andretti.

I can only destroy her.

ANTONELLA ANDRETTI

I can hardly remember the time before I loved Enrico Lucchesi. Just like I can hardly remember the time before our families were at war. A war I helped cause. A war I’m determined to end.

Our marriage will bring peace. It might even bring us happiness.

If only Enrico can forget who I am. If only he never learns my role in what happened. If only he can forgive me.

But some sins are unforgivable.
