The Don's Quiet Wife

Rosalia Ferrante is a schoolteacher who lost her sister six months ago and her father the year before. When the trail runs to the Ricci family, she does the only thing she can think of: she walks into their restaurant with a folder and asks for the don. Lorenzo Ricci is fifty-two, patient, and has killed three of the men whose names she's carrying. He doesn't have her arrested. He marries her. Eight months as the don's quiet wife. Morning classes, family dinners, and a house where everyone is polite and no one is honest. Rosalia doesn't fight her way out — she watches, listens, and drives to work every morning with a man's name noting itself in her head. When she finally brings Lorenzo the name, he doesn't act. He asks her what she wants. A dark mafia age gap forced marriage captive romance about a woman who stays on her own terms.
