At 18, She Was Forced Into Marriage With a Ruthless Mafia Boss — Unaware He’d Loved Her Forever

At just 18 years old, Emilia Moretti is forced into a marriage she never wanted—with Luca De Santis, one of the most feared and ruthless mafia bosses in Chicago. To Emilia, Luca is everything she should fear: powerful, dangerous, controlling, and impossible to escape. But from the moment she enters his world, something does not make sense. He gives her a separate room. He refuses to touch her without permission. He protects her from enemies she never knew existed. And when Emilia begins uncovering secrets from her past, she discovers the shocking truth: Luca did not choose her because of a mafia bargain. He had known her family for years. He had quietly protected her from a distance. And long before she became his wife, Luca De Santis had already fallen hopelessly in love with her. But can a marriage that began without her choice ever become real love? As dangerous enemies close in and buried family betrayals come to light, Emilia must decide whether the ruthless man she once feared can truly become the man she chooses for herself.
