I was supposed to burn with my past. The devil has other plans.

In one night, my life turns to ash. My past, my home, and every dream for the future—gone. Through a fluke of fate, I survive the flames. Only to get caught in the gunfire. 

One minute, I’m a music student with a scholarship and a violin I can’t afford to replace. The next, I’m at the top of every hitman’s to-do list. I have no idea why they want me dead, only that Rem Cosenza is the one who saves me.

He’s the devil who steps out of the darkness. The nephew of Chicago’s most powerful capo and the only fixer trusted with the Family’s deadliest secrets. He offers me a choice: stay in the rubble and die, or leave with him and live.

But salvation has a price. One wrapped in white silk and sealed with a vow.

To survive the bounty on my head, I must marry a stranger. A monster. Rem is possessive, protective, and sinful—a man who will betray his own bloodline just to keep me.

In a world built on loyalty and violence, our marriage is a death sentence. We’re forbidden. Hunted. And we’re both going to burn.
