Arianna's Marriage Contract

At ten, Tucker Givenchy becomes the only shield his family has left.

When favors run out and rival crime families close in, he signs a marriage contract with Arianna Vitale, heiress of the ruthless Vitale syndicate, to keep the people he loves alive.

Arianna has known since she was nine that her future is an alliance, her duty is obedience to her father, and peace will demand a price she is not allowed to question.

What starts as obligation turns into a want neither of them was ever permitted, even as violence and lies sharpen around both families.

Tucker comes to see that his childhood vow is no longer only about protection; Arianna is the one person he has always known was his.

Where loyalty buys survival and love can ruin them, the bond meant to unite two powers may be the deadliest choice either house has made.
