Bound by debt

Dante Cavallaro would soon become the youngest Capo in the history of the Chicago organization. Part of his duty as such is to remarry, although the memory of his late wife still haunts him. Cold and callous, he sees the marriage as just another deal to strengthen his position.

For the role of his new wife Valentina is chosen - herself a recent widow. But her marriage, unlike Dante's, has always been a façade. Even after the death of her first husband, she continues to keep his secrets. Loyal to his memory, Valentina risks becoming a traitor to the Organization and her new husband.

Her tower of lies is about to collapse on their first night of marriage, but her worries prove futile when Dante completely ignores her. Longing for intimacy and emotion, Valentina is determined to awaken his passion-even if she can never melt his icy heart.
