The Mafia King's Wife Must Die
The Mafia King's Wife Must Die
“My husband signed a contract to have me killed. The worst part? I fell in love with him before I discovered his signature. Dante Moretti is the devil in an expensive suit, the ruthless king of Europe's most feared mafia empire. Men kneel when he speaks, enemies disappear when he gives an order, and betrayal is a crime he never forgives. Unfortunately for me, he is also my husband. Our marriage was never supposed to be about love. It was a calculated arrangement built on family obligations, buried secrets, and motives neither of us was willing to confess. I knew Dante was dangerous when I married him, but I believed I could survive his world as long as I never gave him my heart. Then I discovered a contract bearing my name. My death had been ordered. My husband was connected to it. And someone had already decided how my body would be found. But why would Dante marry a woman he intended to kill? The deeper I dig, the more twisted the truth becomes. My brother is hiding something. My father's death may not have been an accident. An organisation that supposedly vanished fifteen years ago has returned, and its mysterious symbol keeps appearing wherever blood is spilled. Then I uncover a photograph that should not exist, a missing heir who may have a claim to my husband's empire, and a secret about my own identity that threatens to destroy everything I thought I knew about my family. Suddenly, I cannot tell who is protecting me and who is preparing to bury me. Dante insists he never ordered my death, yet his eyes tell a different story whenever I ask about the contract. He watches me as though losing me would destroy him, but he keeps secrets that could get me killed. And the more I discover about the monster I married, the more terrifying one possibility becomes. What if the man I am falling in love with is the only person I should fear? I should run. I should hate him. I should pray that whatever feelings have begun to grow between us die before I do. But when someone threatens to take everything from Dante, he becomes more dangerous than the man who signed my death warrant. And when he finally discovers who is hunting his wife, even his most loyal men will wish they had never learned the truth. Because the contract has changed. The target has changed. And the person who ordered my death has just made one fatal mistake. They gave the Mafia King a reason to keep his wife alive. Now I have one question left. When the truth comes out, will Dante save me from the people hunting me? Or will I discover that my death was the one promise he never intended to break?”
