Ethan thought a rusted button could stand in for love. On their third anniversary, he humiliated Mia by giving her that worthless token, then handed his family’s priceless matriarch crest to Sophia, the woman he never got over.
Mia walked away broken and silent.
Five years later, Ethan finds her covered in mud, searching a trash can at Manhattan’s most luxurious hotel, and he assumes the worst—beggar, opportunist, a woman desperate to beg her way back in.
He couldn’t be more wrong.
Mia is there for one reason only: her son’s handmade seashell bracelet.
And the man Ethan is trying to win over, the dreaded Godfather Antonio Russo, is actually Mia’s husband.
The moment Antonio enters and the entire room bows, Ethan and everyone laughing at Mia are about to learn their place.
