To be a good leader, you must be feared and respected, so you have to be ruthless and cruel—just like Dante Cavarro. Betrayal is the worst thing a mafia member can do; any betrayal is punished by death. But a day came when he betrayed himself—broke the oath in which he swore to put the Family first. Dante has secrets and weaknesses that would make all his men doubt his loyalty. This brutal man may have a heart—but only a few chosen ones get the chance to find out. The others? Well, they’ll die. On the day of Valentia’s wedding, she swore she would stay by Dante—in joy and grief—and give him her love no matter what. But will she have the strength to handle all the troubles that will crash down on their family? And will Dante’s betrayal destroy everything he vowed to protect?
