Aria Valencia’s life implodes when her father disappears after betraying the DeLuca mafia. Alone, confused, and drowning in debt, Aria is abducted and brought before the notorious Don, Luciano DeLuca. Instead of ordering her death, he makes her a terrifying offer—marry him for a year, become his secret wife, and the debt dies with her father. Luca’s reasons aren’t love; it’s about power, appearances, and control. But under the chilling glare of his steel-gray eyes, Aria feels something disturbingly electric—a pull she shouldn’t crave. Desperate and cornered, she signs the contract, stepping into a world of danger, luxury, and secrets where no one leaves unchanged.

The wedding was only a week away, yet the world around them seemed to have slowed to a tender heartbeat. Every day felt like a string of stolen moments stitched together with laughter, soft touches, and a love that no longer needed to hide behind sharp edges. Aria found herself smiling at nothing and everything at the same time, at the way the morning light filtered into their room, at the scent of Luca's cologne lingering on the sheets, and at the way his voice sounded when he said her name like it was the most sacred word he knew.
