A Ring for the Enemy

He put a ring on her finger as a debt. She took it as evidence.

Livia Vescovi walks up the aisle alone, in a black dress she chose herself, to marry the man whose family her father is blamed for destroying. Her brother is the guarantee. The truce gives her no say in anything else.

Matteo Corvino has terms: one year under his roof, a month of proof, and a ring that is a size too large. "Wear it until you understand what he cost me."

But Livia has spent six years keeping her father's books, and she knows when a figure is lying. The page that damns her family has two sevens that were never written by the same hand. Then she finds the seam in the ring.

Matteo sleeps with a gun within reach and has never let anyone count his hours. Now a woman with a pencil is counting them, and every answer brings her closer to the truth he has sworn to bury.

A dark, slow-burn mafia romance of forced proximity, family secrets, protective love, and a hero who must earn every inch of forgiveness. Closed-door heat. A standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
