MAFIA. COWBOYS. RIVAL FAMILIES. An explosive arranged marriage! Gianna I was raised to become a leader. I promised my father I’d do whatever it takes to forge my legacy. So I forced one of the most powerful mafia families into an alliance- and now I’m trapped on a ranch with a grumpy cowboy for a husband. I’ve spent my life manipulating and killing my way to power, and I’ve found the one man that won’t work on. Colten Sterling. He thinks I’m nothing but a mafia princess sent to destroy his family. He’s not wrong. That’s the mission I was sent on. What he doesn’t know is that I’m done being a pawn. He brings out a side of me I never knew could exist. A happy version. And I finally learn what true love really means. But, it’s better that he remains thinking the worst of me. After all, monsters don’t raise daughters to love. They raise them to betray. Except the longer I live on Sterling Ranch, the harder it gets to remember which family I’m fighting for— and which man I’m supposed to ruin. Because Colten won’t give up on me. He looks past my scars and fights for my heart. I’m no longer just a princess. I’m the Queen of this empire and now that I’ve found my King… we’re coming for it all. Colten My purpose in life is two things: protecting Sterling ranch and eliminating anyone who threatens my family. Until I’m forced to make a deal with a devil in high heels and red lipstick. Gianna Milano is devious, dangerous and devastatingly beautiful. And now, my wife. I know I’m just a stepping stone to her ultimate goal: taking over her family empire. What I didn’t expect was to fall so hard for her. She didn’t just take my last name, my viper stole my heart. But when Gianna is handed the keys to the kingdom she’s spent her life fighting for, everything changes. I vowed to make her regret ever saying I do, but as enemies start closing in, I find myself making another promise: to never let anyone hurt her ever again. I’m prepared to lose everything if it means Gianna gets another shot at life.
