The Ice Queen in Red

The Ricci Women, Book 3

Lorenzo Ricci is my ex-boyfriend's older brother, and I still dislike his last name. The Ricci family and my own are both well-known in Venice.

I need to marry within six months or I lose my CEO position.

Lorenzo needs a wife for his Dubai investor.

The solution is transactional. Six-month contract. We divorce when it expires.

We teamed up at my struggling hospital. We are staying late to find a solution. I'm surprised by his ideas. He gets under my skin, even though I seem tough.

We violated the contract. Over and over. His hands. His mouth. Everything I swore I wouldn't want. What starts as a release becomes a craving. I’m falling, and I can't control it.

Six months later, the deadline arrives, and I still don't know if Lorenzo stayed for me or the deal. This doubt puts everything at risk: my business, my family, and my heart.

My family permits no failure.

But I'm already failing. Already desperate. Already his.

And I have no idea if he's mine.
