My older sister’s wedding is the perfect excuse for an extended trip back home.

The only empty bed on the entire ranch is in the cowboys’ cabins.

Where did I come from? Who were my parents? What made me…me? It became the fire in my veins.

They say bad things happen in threes. The first was when I lost my parents. The second came when I had to leave behind everything I knew to move across the world to live with my only remaining relative. But what was life for, if not for living? So I kept moving. Then the third thing happened, just as I was about to begin my junior year at the prestigious Blackstone University. I caught the eye of not one, not two, but three of the most infamous guys on campus. The three guys from the wrong side of the tracks.

Giving up my soul-sucking career and moving to a small town was supposed to simplify my life. It didn’t. Because relaxing isn’t as easy as I’d hoped it would be. Plus, the hot contractor in charge of my home reno is all kinds of distracting. Especially when he’s so determined to keep our relationship strictly professional…

He's a notorious crime lord - and he’s on the hunt for her. He’s mafia royalty. Worlds above her. Ice-cold and merciless. Driven by duty and dark secrets. She’s property. Expected to submit.

My ex bought me at an auction and forced me to marry him. He said it was for my protection. All I can think is he had it all planned.
