Onika : I fled Jamaica to avoid one gangster only to have another set his sights on me. Now, I have to rely on a whole new breed of mafia man to protect me from this new threat. The price—marriage. He says it’s for my protection, that it will be temporary. I tell him no one can ever find out. With my life on the line, I have no time to play wife to an enforcer with a wicked tongue, who is more deadly than even his boss. But every time I’m around him, he bares another piece of his damaged soul and lights my body aflame. I’ve lived in darkness my entire life. The day Onika walks through my door, she brings light and warmth like I’ve never had before. When I learn her life is in danger, I take my chance to claim what is mine. I offer her a temporary marriage for her protection. All lies. There is nothing temporary about us, and I will use everything at my disposal to convince her. I will destroy anyone who tries to take her from me. But with more enemies demanding her death, I will have to enter the darkness once more.
