The Dons Vengeance bride
“You hate me so much, yet you can't seem to keep your hands off me.” Luca's eyes darkened as he stepped closer.
“Wanting you is the part I hate most, Fiona.” Her breath caught.
“Then stay away from me.” His hand closed around her waist.
“If I could, I wouldn't have married you.”
Fiona Romano thought marrying Luca Ricci was the price she had to pay to stop a mafia war but she was wrong, Luca didn't marry her for peace he married her for revenge.
For fifteen years, Luca has believed Fiona's father murdered his mother. Now, he intends to destroy Vito Romano piece by piece—and taking the man's beloved daughter as his bride is only the beginning.
Fiona is supposed to be nothing more than a weapon.
So why can't Luca stop wanting her?
Why does touching her feel less like revenge and more like an addiction? And why is the woman he planned to use becoming the one person capable of destroying every wall he's built?
But just when hatred turns into something dangerously close to love, Fiona discovers the truth behind their marriage.
Then comes another woman determined to take Luca back, accusations of infidelity, a pregnancy that could unite two powerful bloodlines, kidnappings, betrayals, and evidence that turns Luca's fifteen-year revenge upside down.
Because Fiona's father may not have murdered Luca's mother after all.
And if Luca has spent half his life hating the wrong man...

Chapter: Chapter thirteen: The pendantFiona’s POV“Whatever happens, Fiona, promise me you’ll never take this off.”Those were my mother’s words on the morning of my wedding.I’d been sitting in front of my vanity, allowing three women to torture my hair into something they called an elegant bridal masterpiece, when Mamma walked into the room carrying a small velvet box.“Mamma, if that’s another piece of jewelry, I swear I’ll collapse under the weight.”She didn’t laugh instead she dismissed the stylists and waited until the door closed before approaching me.“There’s something I want you to have.”She opened the box.Inside lay a delicate gold necklace with an oval pendant. A tiny ruby sat in its center, and the gold looked old, the kind of old that couldn’t be replicated no matter how much money someone threw at it.I picked it up. “It’s beautiful.”“It was very precious to me.”I turned it over and there was an inscription on the back.Anche nel buio, troverai la luce.“Even in darkness, you will find the light,” Mamm

Chapter: Chapter twelve: A beautiful lieI looked at Luca who had a very smug look on his face. “Unfortunately, I’m beginning to realize that.”His mouth twitched.“Relax. I promise you’ll survive.”“That’s a very low standard for a wedding kiss.”“Would you prefer I didn’t?”I blinked because I hadn’t expected him to ask then remembered the hundreds of guests watching us.“No,” I whispered. “Just get it over with.”“Such romance.”His hand settled against my waist, and he leaned down.Then his lips touched mine.Oh.Oh, God that was not what I’d expected.His lips were warm, his touch surprisingly gentle, and for one ridiculous second, every sensible thought in my head disappeared.I forgot the guests, my father and that this was the same arrogant bastard I’d spent the last four days imagining creative ways to murder.My fingers tightened slightly around his arm.And I felt something warm and unfamiliar that settled somewhere deep in my stomach.It was wonderful, Luca Ricci had taken my face kiss and it was wonderful, I g

Chapter: Chapter eleven: Till death do us partFiona’s POVThere were exactly three things wrong with my wedding.One, I didn’t love the groom.Two, the groom was a dangerous mafia Don who’d practically blackmailed my father into handing me over.And three, I was seriously considering escaping through the bathroom window, except my wedding dress cost more than most people’s annual salaries, and I doubted I could fit through the damn thing.“Fiona, stop pacing. You’re making me nervous.”I turned toward Viviana, who was lounging on the sofa in a champagne-colored bridesmaid dress, sipping champagne like we were attending an ordinary wedding.“You’re nervous? I’m about to marry a man I’ve known for approximately three days!”“Technically, you’ve known about him longer.”“Viviana.”“I’m just saying.”I glared at her.She raised both hands. “Fine. Terrible joke.”Outside the bridal suite, music and distant conversation drifted through the doors.Apparently, Luca Ricci had taken my mother’s concerns about organizing a grand wedding in

Chapter: Chapter ten: A diamond and a deadlineFiona’s POV Luca Ricci started clapping and I stared at him, wondering whether I’d finally pushed him into some kind of psychological breakdown.“Bravo, little dove. Fucking bravo.”He clapped twice more before lowering his hands, a ridiculously pleased smile spreading across his face.“Thank God. I was beginning to think I’d have to sit through another speech about strengthening family alliances.”I blinked in shock. “Excuse me?”“That innocent, obedient daughter act was becoming exhausting. I was starting to wonder where the woman who threatened me with a dinner fork had disappeared to.”I opened my mouth, then closed it.Was he seriously congratulating me?I’d just called him a monster, accused him of buying me like property, and practically told him to go to hell.And he was smiling?“You’re insane,” I whispered.“Probably. But at least we’re finally being honest with each other.”He walked around Father’s desk, and I instinctively took a step backward.He noticed.“Relax, Fiona.

Chapter: Chapter nine: Truth hurtsFiona’s POVI straightened and offered him the sort of smile I’d perfected during years of attending Father’s unbearable social events.“Well, Mr. Ricci, I believe this marriage represents a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the relationship between our families. Given the current circumstances, an alliance would benefit everyone involved, and I’m grateful that you’ve agreed to help protect my family.”There was nothing but silence as Luca stared at me, that made me smile harder. “Naturally, marriage is a serious commitment, and although the arrangement was unexpected, I’m sure we’ll both do our best to make it successful.”He rolled his eyes like actually rolled his eyes and I stopped he clearly wasn’t buying what I was saying.“Excuse me?”“Jesus Christ, Fiona.”My smile disappeared. “What?”“Did your father write that speech for you?”I frowned. “I beg your pardon?”“Because if he did, tell him it needs work. I’ve heard more convincing statements from politicians caught stealing

Chapter: Chapter eight: Behind closed doorsFiona’s POVMy father couldn’t even meet my eyes as he opened his mouth to talk.“Of course.” I stared at my father this was absurd surely, I had heard him wrong. “Papa?” I asked wanting clarification because I needed to know what was the rationale behind letting me have a one on one with the monster soon to be husband.But my father wouldn’t look at me. Instead, his attention remained fixed on Luca, who looked entirely too pleased with himself.At this point it’s save to say Luca has my father on a tight leash. “You can use my study. I believe you two should get to know each other before the wedding.” I almost laughed. Get to know each other? Was that what we were calling this now? “Actually, Papa, I don’t think that’s necessary. We’ve been getting along wonderfully, haven’t we, Mr. Ricci?” Luca turned toward me, looking amused. “Splendidly. Although I suspect there’s still plenty we haven’t discussed.” “Like what? Your favorite color? Your hobbies? Whether you enjoy threate

Chapter: Chapter Three: The Boss's Secret StashEvelynThe forty-eighth floor of Vale Global was almost completely dark when the elevator doors opened, for the first time in four years, I was grateful for it.But now there were no ringing phones, no assistants rushing between offices, no executives arguing over numbers they should have checked before sending them to Adrian.No one to look at my swollen eyes and ask if I was okay because I wasn't.I was three weeks away from my wedding, carrying an overnight bag filled with clothes I'd barely looked at while packing, and somewhere across the city, my fiancé was probably still standing in the apartment we'd shared for four years wondering how to explain that he'd been fucking my best friend for two.I stepped out of the elevator to see the reception area was deserted. Only the security lights remained on, leaving long shadows across the glass walls. Outside, Manhattan or what looked like the entire damn world from forty-eight floors up continued glowing as though mine hadn't just end

Chapter: Chapter Two: Nowhere Else to GoEvelynMy scream tore through the room and Daniel practically threw himself off her.“Evelyn—”“What the fuck!” I didn't recognize my own voice or my bedroom, I didn't recognize the man scrambling for his jeans or the woman sitting in my bed with my sheets pulled over her body.For one horrible second, I just stood there and my brain kept rejecting what my eyes were showing it, the same Sienna who had sent me a picture of my wedding dress less than two hours ago.The same Daniel who had told me he loved me before canceling dinner because his father was supposedly sick.I looked at him. “Your dad.”Daniel froze and I laughed but it came out broken. “Your dad is sick?”“Evelyn, I—”“You weren't at work.”He opened his mouth to defend himself but nothing came out.“You fucking lied to me.”“I know.”“You told me you were at work!”“I know.”“And then I come home and find you—”My voice broke but I couldn't finish, Daniel took one step toward me and I immediately backed away.“Don't.”“Pl

Chapter: Chapter One : Three Weeks Before I Was Supposed to Say I DoEvelynThree weeks before my wedding, I still believed I was marrying the love of my life, I believed my best friend would stand beside me when I did it, and that the biggest problem in my life was convincing one hundred and eighty-seven wedding guests that no, they could not bring additional people to a reception that already cost more than my first car.I believed a lot of stupid things, but at six-fourteen that evening, I was totally oblivious and smiling at work.I sat behind my desk on the 48th floor of Vale Global headquarters, staring at the photograph Sienna had just sent me, it was my wedding dress.Or, more accurately, part of it, the boutique had finally finished altering the waist, and Sienna had apparently gone there without me to make sure they hadn't ruined it.SIENNA: SHE SURVIVED SURGERY.Another picture arrived, this one showed Sienna standing beside the dress with one hand dramatically pressed to her chest as if she was testing it out.SIENNA: Our baby is beautiful.
