He Hid Me for Eight Years, Now I'm Another Man's Betrothed

I'd been in an unsanctioned affair with my brother's blood-sworn ally for eight years.

Every time I brought up being acknowledged before the Family, he'd coax me out of it: "Just a little longer. If your brother finds out, he'll kill me."

So I listened. Every time we were around other people, I kept my distance like a good girl.

Until a round of public dares at a Family banquet landed on Luca Russo.

The crowd egged him on, daring him to kiss one of the women in the room.

His gaze drifted toward me, soft and warm. My pulse spiked. I felt my cheeks flush as I braced myself.
