Dominic DeLuca is Chicago’s most feared Mafia Capo. At twenty-seven, he has power, wealth, and everything a man could want—except the woman he lost. After his wife, Amelia, dies from cancer, Dominic makes a promise: he will never love again. Y/N never expected to become his wife. Her first marriage to Adriano Caruso was arranged, loveless, and never truly a marriage at all. After Adriano leaves her, Y/N believes her chance at finding real love is gone. Then Dominic enters her life. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than an alliance between two powerful families. Dominic keeps his distance, refusing to let Y/N get too close. Yet somehow, the coldest man in Chicago becomes the man who protects her the most. Every time someone asks why he cares so much, Dominic gives the same answer: “She’s my wife. Protecting her is my responsibility.” But when Y/N accidentally says the one word Dominic swore he’d never feel again, everything changes. Because Dominic can deny his jealousy. He can deny his protectiveness. He can deny the way his eyes follow her across a room. But eventually, he’ll have to face the one thing he’s been running from since Amelia died— love.
