Limang taon nang asawa si Dr. Vera Almonte ni Riley Garcia, ngunit sa buong panahon ng kanilang pagsasama, palagi siyang pangalawa. Sa bawat gabi at sa bawat katahimikan ng kanilang bahay, malinaw na may isang babaeng hindi niya kailanman kayang palitan—ang unang babaeng minahal ng kaniyang asawa, si Carla Mendoza. Sa mismong kaarawan ni Vera, nalaman niyang siya’y buntis. Inakala niyang iyon na ang magiging dahilan para sa wakas ay piliin siya ni Riley. Ngunit bago pa man niya maibahagi ang balita, isang mas masakit na katotohanan ang dumurog sa kaniya—buntis din si Carla, at iisa ang ama ng mga batang iyon. Doon niya napagtanto na kailanman ay hindi siya naging tunay na asawa, kundi isang pansamantalang kapalit lamang. Pinili ni Vera ang paglayo. Nag-file siya ng annulment at ipinadala iyon kay Riley, upang hindi na siya maging sagabal sa pagmamahalan ng dalawa. Nilihim niya ang sariling pagbubuntis upang protektahan ang sarili at ang anak na pilit niyang ipinaglaban. Ngunit hindi lahat ng lihim ay nananatiling ligtas. Sa takot na maagaw si Riley, sinira ni Carla ang tanging bagay na natitira kay Vera. Sinagasaan siya nito, at sa isang iglap, nawala ang batang nasa kaniyang sinapupunan. Nang magising si Vera sa loob ng ospital, isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahan ang nadatnan niyang nagbabantay sa kaniya—si Rico Garcia. Ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Riley. Isang makapangyarihan at walang-awang CEO na sanay kumuha ng gusto niya, at ngayon, ginamit niya ang kapangyarihan niya upang protektahan si Vera. Isang kontratang kasal ang inalok ni Rico. Kapalit ng proteksyon, si Vera ay magiging kanya—sa pangalan, sa buhay, at sa mundong hindi na niya maaaring talikuran. Ngunit sa isang kasal na itinayo sa galit at paghihiganti, hanggang saan hahantong ang lahat kapag minahal ka ng lalaking handang wasakin ang sarili niyang kapatid para sa ‘yo?

**This book is the second book in the Billionaire series. It can be read as a standalone novel, but it is highly suggested that you read The Billionaire’s First Glance prior to this novel.** I, Zander Cavanaugh, the all-American football quarterback, have done something that could get me killed. I fell in love with the brilliant, curvy mafia princess Isabella Aventini at first sight. Everything about Isabella called to me: her captivating blue eyes, her soft caramel skin, every dip and curve of her voluptuous body was just the start. Isabella was smart, kind, and funny. The kind of girl you can’t help but fall in love with. I know she felt the same way as I did. We were drawn together like magnets, but that’s not how the mafia works. Isabella is a commodity to be sold or brokered for the sake of alliances and has been promised to the ruthless and cutthroat DeMarco family since birth — a fate she neither wants nor needs. Isabella’s father, Mafia Don Salvatore Aventini, has managed to keep us apart by sending Isabella away to finish high school. However, when fates aligned, Isabella not only ended up attending the same university as me, but she’s also my college-assigned tutor. I know there is no chance for us, and still I fell in love with her, knowing it could mean my death.
