Neglected by the Mafia Husband Who Never Chose Her

Vivienne believed seven years had made her arranged marriage to Dante Moretti real.

He had never chosen her; their families had matched them to keep peace between two powerful houses, yet she fell in love and trusted that he loved her too.

That trust cracked when Alessandra, the widowed childhood friend everyone once expected him to marry, returned frightened and in danger with her young daughter, and Dante moved them into the house without asking.

Vivienne was left to accept a forgotten anniversary, constant comparisons, and choices about her home and her future made behind her back, then to stand alone while he arrived at a family celebration with Alessandra.

Hearing him treat their marriage as duty rather than love finally drove her to leave and ask for a divorce.

Dante can claim he loves her, but she will not come back until he proves that this time he is choosing her.
