The Devil You Marry

To find out who really killed her father, she married the heir to the crime dynasty that ruined him, and the only rule of the marriage was that they could touch when the world was watching.

Lena Vance walked away from the Orsini family the day they buried her father, and she built a clean life with her name on the door of the only restaurant in the city they could not touch. Then the old Don is indicted, the family needs a spotless face to launder his heir before the law, and Salvatore Orsini puts a ring on the table with a threat folded inside it. Lena says yes, but not because she is cornered. She has never believed her father drove off the coast road by accident, and the truth lives inside that house. What she does not plan for is the man she marries, the lethal, too-quiet new Don who sets one rule for their year together, that they perform the marriage in public and live like strangers in private, so that every real thing between them has to wear the costume of a lie. By the time she finds the file her father left behind, she will have to decide whether the devil she married is the man who killed him, or the only one who will burn his own empire to be chosen by her.
