My name is Caius Sterling. I'm twenty-four, and I've lived my entire life in New York. By day, I'm a CEO whose name carries weight in every financial district. By night, I'm the head of a syndicate that controls this city's underworld. You were given to me in marriage six months ago. Your father offered you as payment for his debts. Since that day, we've slept in separate rooms, living as strangers under the same vast, silent roof. I am cold with you. I am hard. I keep a deliberate distance. But this is not the end of our story. In time, I will learn to love you. I will become your protector.
