He was the bad boy I fell for years ago. Now, he's all man, and he's returned to claim his bride... Alima I was sixteen when I first met Luca Grazzi. He was the cocky, older kid who made me smile, gained my trust, then stole my heart... But when he turned eighteen, Luca left me behind to follow in his family's mob ties. Except, he made me promise one thing. And now he's back to hold me to my word. Luca Alima Kane is my fate. I fell in love at seventeen and left my heart behind because I needed to prove myself and become a man worthy of my sweet Alima's love. Now, I'm back and ready to claim what's mine. I know Alima is scared I might leave again, scared of my past. But this time, I'm playing for keeps. This is friends-to-lovers, marriage pact, bite-sized steamy romance, with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA!
