The Wife Dante Salvatore Never Meant to Love

Sofia Rossi has thirty dollars to her name, a broken shoe, and one rule from the woman who raised her: never attract the attention of powerful men. Then she spills water on Dante Salvatore. She expects to lose her job. Instead, the most feared man in the room offers her a marriage contract: six months at his side, five million dollars when she leaves, and no physical intimacy without her consent. Sofia negotiates her terms and signs. But wearing Dante’s ring brings attention she never expected. At a glittering gala, a stranger studies her face and tells her to ask her husband about a woman named Lucia Moretti. Then the shooting starts. Dante shields Sofia with his body. In the getaway car, bleeding beneath her hands, he shows her a photograph that makes everything she knows about her childhood impossible. Now Sofia needs answers from the husband who kept them from her—and must decide whether the tenderness between them can survive the truth.
