Two men with guns meet me at the entrance to my nonna’s house. They
don’t say anything as I heft my bag up onto my shoulder and stare past
them into the Sicilian countryside. Long rolling fields and scrubby
trees. Some of the most beautiful landscape I’ve ever seen, and this is
probably my last chance to take it all in.

I’ve been here for a while now, and even though Nonna promised I could
stay as long as I wanted, Papa was always going to bring me home. I quit
my job at a decent nonprofit and gave up everything to disappear out into
the countryside, and now my escape is over.
“Which one is it this time?” I ask as my father’s personal bodyguard ambles
up the road. “Did Papa decide to sell me off to someone else?”
“Don’t be like that,” Amadeus says. He’s older, in his early fifties, but still
spry despite the gut he’s been growing these last ten years. I’ve known him
since I was little, and while I wouldn’t say we’re close, he’s always been
polite.
I’ve never liked him though—it’s the way he looks at people like
everyone’s a threat. Including me.
“At least tell me who I’m marrying. Is it still Renzo Rossi?”
“No, Don Rossi found a new wife. Unlucky for you.”
I glance down at the ground. He’s wrong about that—I ran here to Sicily to
hide in Nonna’s compound to escape getting thrown into that Rossi family.
But I knew I couldn’t hide out forever, no matter how hard I tried to pretend
like Papa would forget about me.
I’m the Don’s only daughter, which means I have value.
Not necessarily for my sharp brain or my many talents—the Famiglia
doesn’t really give a crap if I can sing, tap dance, and ride horses—but
because I can get married and make babies.
When I boil it all down to the dregs, that’s all the women in this family are
ever worth, no matter how much we lie to ourselves.
That became clear the moment my father announced that I’d be marrying a
man I’d only met once or twice in my entire life and didn’t know at all.
I’m more than a little bitter today.
“Now you’re here to drag me back. I assume there’s a good reason for it.”
Amadeus shrugs. “You were right. There’s a new husband. His younger
brother, Saul.”
I tug at the strap of my bag. Saul Rossi. I know almost nothing about him,
either—even less than Renzo. He’s the second-in-command of the Rossi
Famiglia, so still a powerful and important figure in their organization, but
beyond that?
No clue.
