Dangerous defiance
It's my duty to the family...
King
When I go to work for the Valenti’s, I don’t expect my first assignment to be my biggest challenge—marry the daughter of a rival boss.
Wild and smart-mouthed as she is beautiful, Eliza Pomponio’s nothing but a bratty princess who’s always gotten her way. And she seems determined to push all my buttons.
Everyone is counting on us to keep peace between the New York families, though, so that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Even if it proves the hardest thing I've ever done.
Eliza
In one moment, my freedom is snatched away when my father tells me I have to marry a man I’ve never met.
