Domenico Family and hockey. Those have always been my two greatest loves. But after watching my siblings and cousin find their person, it made me long to find my forever. The moment I locked eyes with Chiara I just knew! Rescuing her was the easy part, protecting her will take much more work. With family ties severed and alliances threatened, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that Chiara knows what true family looks like. We will fight for those we love, and loving Chiara is the easiest thing I’ve ever done. Chiara Growing up, my family was never close. I felt like an outsider, the cast away. But when my father told me, I would have an arranged marriage, I knew it’d gone too far. Before I could protest, I was taken. I spent a year of my life in torment. Frightened and alone. Then I met my light, my saving grace. Domenico was the man I’d always dreamed of. Patient, caring. He made me feel like the most precious girl in the world. When my family comes to force me home, I learn that family isn’t always blood. The Mancinis have vowed to protect me, but with war threatening, will the love I have for Domenico be enough?
