Hardest Fall

A Mafia princess. A morally grey protector. A fake engagement with the one man she swore to hate. Freedom was supposed to taste like victory. For Giana Sorrentino, it tastes like loneliness—the screwed-up kind that comes from six years of having the deadliest man in Italy as her shadow. Rodrigo Colleoni was her jailer, her obsession, and the only person who ever made her feel safe. Then he let her go, and she ran before he could change his mind. Unfortunately, with a last name like hers, she's famous with all the wrong people. Add in an additional fortune in blood money, and she's nothing but an easy target. When Giana is kidnapped from a sun-drenched café in Bodrum, Rodrigo tears through Turkey to get her back and then offers her a deal that puts her right back in the Colleoni world she barely escaped: another fake engagement to keep her alive. Now they're playing husband and wife to be, while an ambitious enemy circles closer, and an occult threat rises from the shadows. With six years of buried desire threatening to burn them both alive, it will be a race to see what destroys them first: murderers or marriage. Or maybe, with the help of the deadly Edgeworth family, they might all get exactly what they deserve.
