Black Ice

BLACK ICE Raquel Mancini has three weeks to learn the truth: the man she's about to marry isn't just Detroit's golden bachelor — he's the Prince, heir to a crime family that owns half the city and strikes fear in the other half. The wedding is paid for. Five hundred guests. A ring worth more than some countries' defense budgets — and just as dangerous to hold onto. At the altar, with the entire Detroit mafia watching, she says the one word nobody expected. She runs — landing in a sun-bleached corner of the Florida Keys where nobody knows who Raquel Mancini is. She confides in the man renting the cabin next door: a real estate investor with a restomod Mustang, a past he doesn't talk about, and a habit of helping people. But a word that humiliates a mafia prince in front of the entire syndicate doesn't stay buried. When the countrywide search finds her, it finds him too — and what follows is a high-speed run down the last honest highway in Florida, a bullet that changes everything, and a choice that will cost them both the only lives they've ever known. One word made her a target. Another word might be the only thing that saves her. A runaway bride. A hunted man. A love worth disappearing for.
