An arranged marriage is meant to unite two powerful mafia families. The bride expects a cold, silent man she has barely known her whole life. Søren Voss has never spoken a word to her, only watching from a distance with unsettling, unreadable eyes. What no one knows is that his silence has never meant indifference. For thirteen years, he has been devoted to her in secret, memorizing every detail, protecting her without her knowledge, and marking pieces of her into his skin.
