It was supposed to be one night.

No names. No past. No consequences.

Then I missed my period.

And the man I thought I’d never see again—

Walked into my family’s gala.

Vincent Russo.

The enemy. The threat.

The father of my child.

He says marrying him is the only way to protect the baby.

But he doesn’t want a wife.

He wants obedience.

Control.

And maybe something more.

Because sometimes, when he touches me,

It feels like he’s trying to forget who we are.

And when I look at him…

I start to forget too.

But our last names were built on blood.

Our families don’t forgive.

And now I’m caught in a war I never meant to...

With the one man I was never supposed to love.
