She's not my wife... She's my hostage. Fourteen years ago, Georgia Bellisario ripped my heart out and left me for dead. I should have died that day. Maybe I did. The man I was—the one who loved, who felt—was buried in the dirt. What remained was a body, a machine built for war and violence. I was reforged in blood, remade into something ruthless. Now, I am the sottocapo of a brutal mafia, the perfect weapon at my boss’s command. Merciless. Heartless. Remorseless. When the boss orders me to hunt down Georgia and drag her back across the country, I don’t hesitate. Her name alone is a curse, a toxin that burns through my veins.
