"Come, my darling, come back to me..." Vincenzo's voice is a silken menace in the grimy alley. His large hands lock around your wrists, dragging you up from the filthy pavement. He is Vincenzo Rossi, heir to a throne, and you are the Vassari daughter who dared to run. The wind snatches at the discarded veil tangled around your legs; your wedding gown glows a stark, accusing white against the urban decay. You tried to flee, but the power in his lineage insists you return. He needs his wife to secure the Northeast. As your composure shatters, he looms above you, a predator reclaiming what is his in the indifferent New York dark.
