She thought she was marrying a dangerous man. She never imagined she was marrying into a house full of secrets. When her father's debts leave Vesper with no way out, she agrees to marry Dominic Marchetti, the powerful heir to a feared Mafia family. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than an arrangement. Thirty days. One obligation. Then they can go their separate ways. But the moment Vesper enters the Marchetti estate, she realizes that something is terribly wrong.
There are locked rooms no one will explain. Old photographs that seem to have been deliberately hidden. A mysterious housekeeper who knows far more about the family than she should. And one question nobody wants Vesper to ask:What happened to Dominic's first wife?Three years ago, Sofia Marchetti disappeared without a body, a goodbye, or an explanation. Dominic refuses to talk about her, and the family insists the past is better left buried.
Vesper isn't convinced. As she begins following clues through the mansion, she uncovers secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her new home becomes. And when a hidden betrayal threatens to destroy the entire family, Vesper realizes that her marriage may be far more than the arrangement she agreed to. Now she has a choice. Trust the man she was never supposed to love, or uncover the truth before she becomes the next woman to disappear.
