Dante — Bethany-Kris

Dante Marcello's life has been a carefully planned event as an heir to a Cosa Nostra throne. For as long as he can remember, he's had one goal in mind, and that's becoming the Don. With his father ready to step down, it's Dante's turn to step up. But without a wife at his side, his seat as the boss is on shaky ground. Until she shows up with an offer he wants to refuse, but can't. With her, he's got everything to gain. Catrina Danzi is known for her angel face and a predator's grace. For over a decade, she's worked as a successful Queen Pin dealing with a repertoire of clientele who can't afford a scandal. That's why they ask for her and why they call her Queen. Marrying Dante Marcello means giving up the business and status she loves in order to gain protection she can't provide on her own, but she no longer has a choice. Without him, she's got everything to lose. The rules for their arrangement are simple: no intimacy, no emotions. Dante isn't looking for love and Catrina doesn't need attachments. In the end, life has a way of breaking down walls when you least expect it to, and once love gets in, there's no bleeding it out. Together, they make a formidable team the Commission won't be able to ignore. Catrina's secret of what she's kept safe will put the entire Marcello family in danger when it finally catches up with her. The Marcellos have yet to be beaten, and they're not about to start bowing down now. Even the most beautiful things are a little filthy.
