Crushed by her father's gambling losses, Eva becomes the reluctant wife of Dante Moretti, heir to a dangerous crime dynasty.

Her escape plan depends on a signed divorce, until she overhears Dante's devastating confession: he would accept her hatred if it kept her alive. With betrayal closing in, old debts rising, and a killer lurking beneath a night of fireworks, Eva must keep up her deception while deciding whether the man she feared is the only one she can trust.
