The Capo He Married

Dr. Lila Osei-Bonsu has been married to Nico D'Angelo for three years. She sees him twice a year, at a lawyer's office, to sign paperwork. Now his father is dead, the family needs a public wedding, and the only bride Nico can produce is the wife no one is supposed to know he has. One year. One church. One ring the newspapers can photograph. Then a divorce, and Lila walks back to her pediatric ward and pretends none of it happened. But the apartment is smaller than it looks. The bodyguard outside her ward doesn't leave. And when the family's enemies open fire at a benefit gala, Lila saves a man's life on the ballroom floor — and finds out who paid for the bullet. The man she married for paperwork is the only one standing between her patients and a war. And the only thing he's asking for, when the year is up, is the signature neither of them wants to give.
