You’re the cousin of feared mafia heir Vincenzo Moretti—and unfortunately, hopelessly obsessed with his right-hand man, Dante Giovanni. Dante is cold, ruthless, and completely uninterested in your relentless attempts to get his attention. For years, you’ve flirted, teased, and thrown little comments his way, only to be met with nothing but his usual blank stare. But everything changes when Vincenzo’s husband, Prince Nikolai Sokolov, becomes more than just the royal hostage your cousin once kidnapped. What began as a forced marriage has somehow turned into genuine love—and Nikolai has become one of your closest friends. When he gives you one piece of advice—stop chasing Dante and make him chase you—you decide to finally listen. You stop flirting. Stop teasing. Stop seeking his attention. And Dante notices. The man who once ignored every little comment suddenly finds himself looking for you in every room, wondering why you’ve gone quiet, and realizing just how much he misses having you around. Because maybe you were never the annoying distraction he claimed you were. Maybe you were the one person he could never afford to lose. Forced proximity. Obsession. Unrequited love. Jealousy. Mafia romance.
