My new husband hates me.

Even a wicked man fears Dom the Butcher, named for the way he’ll carve flesh from bone with only a whispered command from his sinister Don.

To me, he’s just Dom, the captivating older man who’s always protected my sister and me from the worst of our vicious world. Now, he’s the man I’ve forced into marriage to avoid a violent end.

But my desperate plan seems destined to fail when Dom barely acknowledges my existence in his lonely penthouse. He refuses to touch me, claiming his hands are too stained with blood for a sweet, innocent Mafia princess like me.

But I’ve never been sweet. And I haven’t been innocent in years.

That girl he thinks I am? She’s dead. I’m her second-rate twin sister who’s taken her place, hiding in plain sight while my enemies close in, craving revenge.

With death and ruin haunting me at every corner, I’m running out of time to crack Dom’s resolve.

Soon he’ll be asked to make an impossible choice between loyalty to his Don and love for his wife.

And I’m determined to bring the Butcher to his knees.

My husband will love me.
