Bound in Silk

by Vittoria Lane · Ongoing · 15 chapters

Sienna Marchetti grew up outside the life. Her father made sure of that — no family business talk at dinner, no explanations for the men who sometimes waited outside their building. But debts come due, and when Vincent Catalano finally runs out of road, the price of keeping him alive is his daughter's hand in marriage to Rocco Dimarco, heir to the family that holds the paper on everything Vincent owns. Rocco didn't ask for a wife any more than Sienna asked for a husband. But the Dimarco house is not a peaceful place to land. Rocco's younger brother Nico wants the throne their father hasn't offered him, and he isn't particular about who gets hurt proving he deserves it. Elena, Rocco's cousin, watches everyone and trusts almost no one — except, slowly, the bride nobody expected to last. Sienna came into this marriage believing her husband was the danger. She's starting to understand the danger was already inside the house, waiting for a reason to move. Trust, in this family, is a currency more volatile than money — and Sienna is about to learn exactly what it costs to spend it on the wrong person, or the right one. A slow-burn marriage of convenience with real teeth: suspicion, loyalty, and a love neither of them wanted to need.
