“"Separate bedrooms? Fine," Dante whispered, his face so close she could feel his breath. "But don't mistake my patience for weakness, Elena. You are signing yourself to a villain. And once you enter my castle, you wear my mark." At twenty, Elena Rossi is the black sheep of a failing mafia empire. She doesn't want high-society glamour or arranged marriages; she only wants her freedom, her laptop, and to stay out of her family's dirty business. She is a genius hacker with a razor-sharp tongue and zero respect for authority. But when her incompetent stepbrother loses a fifty-million-dollar shipment belonging to the underworld's most feared tyrant, Elena becomes the ultimate bargaining chip. At thirty-two, Dante Vitale is the cold, ruthless "Capo of Capos." He doesn't look for love-he looks for absolute submission. To settle an old blood debt and seize the remaining Rossi territories, he demands Elena as his contract bride for one single year. He expects a fragile, terrified girl he can easily break and lock away in his gilded cage to look pretty. He couldn't be more wrong. Trapped inside his heavily guarded estate, Elena refuses to bow. Armed with a brilliant, rebellious mind and elite hacking skills, she launches a silent, digital war to sabotage his empire from the inside out, turning his high-tech fortress into her personal playground. Dante responds with absolute authority, turning their forced marriage into a lethal, explosive game of psychological warfare. But the twelve-year age gap and mutual hatred only fuel a dangerous, suffocating physical chemistry. When a brutal internal coup threatens Dante's life, Elena's calculations fail her. She doesn't hesitate-she fights back and saves him, completely exposing her kickass talents to the man who rules her cage. Now, the game has changed. Dante no longer wants a pawn. He wants the brilliant, defiant wildfire ruling his heart. In a world where trust is a death sentence, can the ruthless villain handle the fire of the diamond he stole?”
