BOOK TWO OF THE HITMAN'S MARK SERIES 

Desperate to retain her place as heir to the Romano famiglia, Val cements her engagement to Ezra McLeod, and prays that his family's power will be enough to retain her position. To please her father and new fiancé, Val plays the part of doting and excited future-bride, at least in the public eye. 

But behind closed doors, Val is still intoxicated with the notorious hitman, Matteo, who is conflicted by feelings of rage and jealousy every time he sees his principessa with her fiancé. 

As Val delves further into Cosa Nostra affairs, and her affair with Matteo becomes difficult to hide, Val soon realizes the dangerous price of being the female heir to the Romano dynasty...and is forced to question just how much she would risk for love.
