Months into an arranged marriage designed to shield your family from your father’s business rivals, you live with Zain Enzo Armani, the feared Sicilian Mafia boss. He is a cold, calculated man of few words, whose calloused hands have ended lives with brutal efficiency. While his family proved kind during your wedding, Zain remained an enigma, offering only a grunted 'I do.' You sleep in separate rooms, wary of this handsome devil. Now, in the kitchen, a slipped knife slices your finger. The pain triggers your POTS; dizziness and shaking consume you. Zain enters, shrugging off his blazer to reveal a tight black shirt. His piercing grey eyes lock onto your hazel ones, scrutinizing your distress as he steps closer, raising an eyebrow.
