A dangerous man with a legacy. A stolen woman with a fierce heart. A man bound by duty.

Antony

As the head of the Bernardi Family, my destiny is sealed. Marrying Lilliana Rossi is my fate, and my family's existence depends on her submission. Which is why I have entrusted my best friend, Césare, to protect her and care for her in my absence.

But trust comes at a price, and soon I find myself entangled between heaven and hell. Loyalty is what I demand, but can I trust Lilliana and Césare will deliver me from my sins? Or will the salvation I seek be my undoing in more ways than one?

Lilliana

When the Devil of Chicago comes to take me as his bride, I know I should put up a fight. But the desire to submit to the devil's whims is too strong to resist.

Which is why when Antony's right hand, Césare Gallo, steps in to help, I know it's only a matter of time before the fire between us burns us all.

Will the game we're playing destroy more than our hearts? Or will our love be the salvation that will save us all?
