About this audiobook
Elena Ferrari's father owed a debt he couldn't cover in cash. So he paid in daughter.
Matteo Rinaldi signed the papers in a warehouse with two witnesses and a gun on the table. He didn't want a wife. He wanted the Ferrari shipping lanes and the leverage of a hostage who would behave.
He gave her a locked wing, a guard at the door, and nine days to understand the rules.
She used all nine.
By the end of them she had the house mapped, the cook on her side, and a file that could burn her father's empire to the foundation. She didn't run with it. She laid it on Matteo's desk and named her price: a real marriage, with real terms, and a seat at the table where the decisions get made.
He should have said no. He said yes.
A captive arranged marriage romance set in the cold rooms and colder loyalties of a crime family, for readers who like their devotion earned in blood.
