Two nights before her wedding, Nora Bennett was sleeping in her car. Now she’s standing beside a hospital bed in a private chapel, marrying a feared Chicago mafia boss who cannot say yes—or refuse. The arrangement is simple: stay beside Adrian Voss until he dies, and his family will pay for her mother’s care. But Nora used to be an intensive care nurse. And the doctor overseeing her new husband’s treatment is the same man whose testimony destroyed her career. Something about Adrian’s care doesn’t add up. While his cousin waits to inherit control and his doctor warns her to stop asking questions, Nora begins keeping a record. She speaks to Adrian when nobody else bothers. She treats him like a man instead of a fortune waiting to change hands. Then his finger moves after she asks him a question. Now Nora must discover who she can trust—and whether the husband everyone considers helpless has been listening all along.
