Elena Meridian believed three years of waiting would lead to marriage, but Dominic Russo’s promise was nothing more than a forged certificate. Then, in the middle of the ancient Claiming ritual, he coldly hands her over to settle a debt with her half-sister Bianca. Broken and left behind, Elena finds unexpected rescue in Luca Santori, a rival don who offers her a way out. She chooses him. Years later, she comes back beside Luca as his wife—the new Donna of Santori—and Dominic is forced to see what his lies destroyed.
