As the only daughter in a Mafia family, I always knew the possibility existed that I’d be part of an arranged marriage, but I never expected to be given to a man I hated by his name alone.

Kai Vivenzo was our families greatest rival, a man I’d been taught to despise, and if he expected me to be a passive and dutiful wife, he was in for a huge surprise. All I wanted was freedom from this ruthless life I’d been born into, even if that meant severing all ties with my family.

I was stubborn and strong-willed, but what I didn’t anticipate was Kai’s power of seduction. Even when I chose to escape this sham of a marriage and ran off in the middle of the night to start a new life for myself, he chased me and found me, breaking down my resistance and making me his, again and again.

The next morning, I woke to a simple note from him: Until the next time I catch you.

What ensued was a steamy, delicious game of cat and mouse . . . until the day I was abducted, and not by Kai, but his enemy who planned to use me in his own plan of revenge against my fiancé.

I just hoped I was worth more to Kai alive, than dead.
