She was the Don's fragile daughter. He was the monster hired to cage her. They were never meant to ignite.
Rose Marino is the Invisible Princess of New York's most powerful crime family. To the world, she is a pampered, simple-minded doll waiting to be sold in a marriage merger that will unite two warring syndicates. But behind the silk dresses and the vacant stare lies a brilliant, calculating mind plotting to burn her father's empire to the ground. She just needs a weapon.
Enter Jack The Reaper Cole.
Disgraced ex-fighter. Enforcer. A man whose hands are stained with the blood of his own brother. He has one job: keep the Princess alive for thirty days until the wedding.
Jack expects a spoiled brat. What he finds is a woman made of secrets and steel who tempts him to break the only rule that matters: No one touches her.
When a staged ambush forces them off the grid and into a frozen cabin in the woods, the line between guard and captor blurs. Trapped by snow and hunted by traitors, the heat between them becomes dangerous enough to melt the ice. But Rose isn't just looking for a protector; she's looking for a partner in treason.
As the wedding day looms, Jack faces an impossible choice: honor the debt that owns his life, or become the monster she needs to slaughter the King.
In a game of blood and betrayal, the Queen doesn't need saving. She just needs her Knight to clear the board.
