Aria Bennett never thought her father’s gambling debts would become her problem. But when he loses everything to Chicago’s most feared crime family — he offers the one thing he has left. Her. Luca Morano doesn’t need a wife. He doesn’t need a companion. He doesn’t need anything from anyone — that’s what happens when you’ve buried everyone you’ve ever loved. But a debt is a debt. And Aria Bennett just became his. What he didn’t expect was that the quiet fierce woman delivered to his door at midnight would be the first person in years to look at him like he was still human. What she didn’t expect was that the monster everyone feared would be the only person who ever made her feel safe.
