No Mercy, No Bride

She was the price of a treaty. He was supposed to be the punishment. Mirabell Sokolov is the last unmarried daughter of a family that just poisoned the undying. To stop the Venturi clan from starving, she's offered to Cesare — four hundred years old, patient, merciless, and very done with brides. He doesn't want her. He wants her bloodline erased. But the silver in the Venturi cellars is killing his family, and Mirabell is the only Sokolov who can undo what her father did. Weeks of cold war in a Milan palazzo turn into something worse than hatred — cooperation. Then into something worse than cooperation. When the Ferrara come for the cellars, Mirabell and Cesare stand back to back in the dark. He offers her forever. She offers him daylight. Neither of them is going to walk away clean.
