ARRANGED MARRIAGES ARE SO LAST CENTURY... UNLESS YOU'RE ME.

Some girls dream of romance. Flowers. Love notes. Meet-cutes in coffee shops.

Me? I got a contract-signed, sealed, and delivered straight into the hands of my emotionally unavailable husband-to-be.

Meet Enrico "Rico" Bennetti-CTO, tech genius, and my future husband. He's silent, broody, and communicates primarily through glares and judgmental eyebrow lifts. If someone could live off coffee, code, and zero human interaction, it'd be him.

And then there's me-Alessandra "Allie" De Luca. Former mafia princess turned head chef. Loud. Stubborn. A walking hurricane of chaos and sass with no interest in playing quiet little housewife.

The problem? Rico didn't want a wife. He wanted a business arrangement-a convenient deal with contractual obligations (read: produce an heir) while he continued to treat emotions as a system bug he refuses to debug.

Me? I want sparks. I want connection. And if I have to drag him, groan by groan, into a real marriage, so be it.

It's grumpy-sunshine meets enemies-to-lovers, with a marriage-of-inconvenience twist.

He wants silence. I want fireworks.

He's thirty-six. I'm twenty-four. Which means I get to call him old man until he grinds his teeth into dust.

Buckle up for fiery banter, slow-burn sexual tension, emotional walls crumbling like badly written code, and a heroine who refuses to back down. Rico thinks he can keep me at arm's length, but when it comes to love, some contracts are meant to be broken.

Book 3 in the Bennetti Boys Series! A standalone with a guaranteed HEA, spicy scenes, and a stubborn heroine who won't take no for an answer.
