First time I see him: Im hiding in the garden from yet another potential suitor.

Thats when I see him—Matteo Caruso.

All dangerous swagger and wicked blue eyes.

My fiancés right-hand man, and completely forbidden.

My wedding rehearsal: Im supposed to be walking down the aisle.

Instead, Im watching my engagement crumble.

And Matteo? Hes watching me.

The next morning: I wake up in his penthouse.

He actually kidnapped me.

And the worst part? Im not sure I want to leave.

Between stolen kisses and whispered promises,

Matteo shows me everything Ive been missing.

Freedom. Passion. A life thats mine to choose.

But Im not just any mafia princess.

I’m the bargaining chip between two powerful families.

And my father will burn this city down to get me back.

Now Matteo has to choose:

His loyalty to the DAmatos, or his love for me.

But Im carrying a secret that changes everything.

One that will force everyones hand.

Because this stolen queen? Shes carrying the heir to a new empire.

And Matteo Caruso doesnt just steal what he wants.

He keeps it.

Forever.
