I didn't just sign a treaty. I signed a contract with a monster.
A dead crewman. A altered manifest. A war ready to burn Port Meridian to the ground.
To stop a citywide bloodbath, the Costa and Varela crime families demand an alliance. But I refuse to be traded like collateral. With a law degree in my pocket and iron in my spine, I step into the cold rain at Pier Nine and set my own terms: Equal authority. Separate bedrooms. And no physical debt collected without my consent.
Niccolo Varela-dark, lethal, and heir to the syndicate-signs without flinching. He agrees to every demand, matching my razor-sharp clauses with his own quiet restraint.
I expected a ruthless tyrant who would try to break my locks. Instead, I got a husband who steps back when I demand space, listens when I command, and eyes me like I'm the most dangerous weapon in the harbor.
When a gunman targets our wedding motorcade and a conspirator moves in the shadows, the fragile peace fractures. Niccolo isn't trying to cage me-he's standing at my shoulder while I dismantle the trap.
I built a wall around my heart to survive the mafia. But as his hands find my waist and his gray eyes burn into mine, I realize the danger isn't losing the port.
It's surrendering to the enemy who learned how to earn my trust.
