“You don’t have to go through with this if you don’t want to, Lilliana,” Dante reassured me, standing in his tuxedo, looking far too delicious to be saying that on my wedding day. “But everything is settled,” I said, trying not to smear too much of my makeup as I cried uncontrollably. “Why doesn’t he love me, Dante?” A sob tore through me. “Come with me,” he said, his voice low and dark—practically a command. “What?” I asked, looking up at the stoic, dangerous man in front of me. “Come with me,” he repeated, holding out his hand. “I’ll make sure everything goes away, fiorellino.” I looked down at his hand, at the tattoos swirling around his fingers. And even though a hand like Dante Gallo’s should have scared me, nothing had ever felt so safe. So I stepped forward, took his hand in mine, and looked up at him. “Take me away.” ** Two ruthless men. One stolen bride. A love too wild to be contained. Lillian thought she had finally secured the life she always dreamed of — until her perfect engagement crumbles in one night of shocking betrayal. Whisked away from the wreckage of her wedding by the dangerous and devastating Dante Gallo, she finds herself caught between two powerful forces: Dante, the mafia king who has loved her from afar, and Damien Volkov, the lethal enemy who refuses to let her slip through his fingers. Torn between loyalty, passion, and a fierce desire for freedom, Lillian faces a choice that could break all three of them. But what if she refuses to choose at all? In a world of power, obsession, and forbidden love, some hearts aren't meant to be divided — they're meant to be shared.

Chapter: Chapter 2: Lillian

Eight years earlier...My feet were killing me—literally killing me. Every step felt like fire shooting up my legs, like the soles of my shoes had fused with the pavement, dragging me down with every movement. It felt like I had been walking for hours, and truthfully, I probably had. But I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn around. I just needed to get away, away from everything.Dad was getting worse—so much worse—by the second. His paranoia had evolved into something more volatile, more desperate. He had taken to ripping apart the house, tearing open drawers, peeling back floorboards, shaking down furniture in search of any scrap of hidden cash. And he found some. Of course, he did. He always did. But that only made it worse. It fed the cycle. It made him meaner, jumpier, more dangerous.I knew then—without a doubt—it wasn’t going to be a pleasant weekend at home. It was going to be loud, maybe violent, filled with accusation and silence. The kind of silence that buzzes in your ears and

Chapter: Chapter 1: Lillian

“So, I’m guessing all there really is to ask is: will you marry me, baby?” Robert asked, looking up at me with his big blue eyes. The hopefulness and the love shining in them were more than enough to make me swoon completely.I could barely contain my excitement, barely keep it all within me. After dating Robert for a year and a half, I had been hoping this moment would come. I had dreamed that I could end college by getting married to the man of my dreams—and somehow, Robert must have heard that silent wish, because here he was, making it all real.“Yes!” I blurted out, trying and failing to contain my tears. “Yes, of course I’ll marry you!” I chuckled, though it came out watery because of the overwhelming happiness surging through me, threatening to spill over.He practically beamed up at me, his perfect white teeth gleaming, his brown hair styled immaculately, not a strand out of place. His navy Hugo Boss polo shirt was ironed to a crisp, and he smelled faintly of the cologne I lov

Chapter: Prologue: Dante

“This is an important lesson, figlio mio,” Father said, his heavy hand resting firmly on my shoulder. “That is why I wanted you to come.”“Yes, padre,” I answered, nodding my head with conviction as I fell into step beside him, keeping my posture straight and my movements deliberate, just like he had taught me.My father was a powerful man, one nobody dared to mess with, one whose mere name made people lower their eyes and cross the street. Everyone feared him—and by extension, they feared me too. It was a strange kind of power to wield at such a young age, and it made it harder and harder for me to do anything else but stand loyally at his side. There was no room for mistakes. No room for softness.This was one of my very first missions. Father had started bringing me along for more and more business dealings, each one a little heavier, a little more serious than the last. And I loved it. I craved the responsibility, the respect that came with it. I had overheard him once, speaking i
