It all started with a poker game—a bet on my freedom Giovanni won...so now I belong to HIM Giovanni, the mafioso and heir to his father’s empire, is exactly what every woman fears—a scorching hot body with a controlling and possessive nature. I was forced to marry him. It would be an understatement to admit that he scares me. He is a damaged playboy with no desire to settle down. So why he wanted me, I have no idea. I am the total opposite of him. I smile, he growls. I laugh, he scoffs. I caress his body, he gropes mine. I sense he is on a mission to take my innocence, and as much as I resist him, it makes me want him more… The way he looks at me and the way his possessive hands take over my body at night, I am starting to think he desires me more than just a forced arrangement. The question is will we make this arranged marriage work or will I find out the real reason he forced me to be his? Do I escape and risk not only my life but his?
