On a bloody Valentine’s night, nurse Lydia Hale saves a dying stranger’s life—only to learn he is Soren Moretti, the most feared Mafia King in the city. His gratitude comes in the form of a merciless ultimatum: marry him or watch everyone she loves die. Trapped in his gilded, violent world, Lydia’s hatred for Soren burns as fiercely as the dangerous attraction that sparks between them. But when their forced union is bound by a 30-day love contract, every stolen touch and midnight confession blurs the line between captive and queen. As the final day dawns, Lydia must make an impossible choice: seize her freedom and run, or surrender to the embrace of the king who would burn the world to keep her.
