Bride at the Don’s Price

On the day Claire Vale is forced to marry gambler Ethan Cole, San Francisco mafia Don Julian De Luca storms the wedding and exposes Ethan’s plan to use her inheritance to pay an $8 million debt. With Julian’s protection—but never his control—Claire follows clues left by her murdered mother, battles her father, stepmother, and false-heiress stepsister, and uncovers a port conspiracy tying both families to murder. To reclaim her name, she must turn proof into power—and choose love on her own terms.
