Abandoned. Bound by contract and haunted by moral rot, Venturi escapes within the arms of the Torrisi heir. Silvered scars of soccorso morto mar his flesh and hide a dangerous love behind indentured servitude. Unlikely soul mates, neither dare to dream of a new beginning. Neither dare to hope. Their loyalty to each other breaks all the rules.To forge a quieter life of chosen family, they must destroy the old guard's control and entrust their fractured lives to an enemy alliance via forced marriage.Together they are thermite-born to burn down the house from the bones out-or die trying. *Digital author's signature
