Her Ruthless Don

Nora Bell signs the contract in a Lake Como bridal suite, with a wedding still going on below her and a billionaire's ring sliding over her knuckle. Four years. One room. No children. No questions. Salvatore Ricci is forty-four, immaculate, and owns the shipping lanes four continents argue over. He needs a wife who is nobody's daughter. Nora needs a hundred thousand euros and one miracle for her mother. What she finds in the wall safe is not a marriage. It is a countdown — and the man who wrote it is running out of time. She could be furniture. She could be collateral. She could be the woman he cannot afford to keep. Or she could take the seat he built. A billionaire mafia age gap romance with a contract marriage, a silver fox who thinks he is in charge, and a heroine who reads every page before she signs.
