The Mafia's Substitute Bride
Fantasy
Gianna Romano never wanted the mafia life. She wanted flour on her hands and the peace of her small bakery.
But when her twin sister, Camilla, vanishes hours before her wedding to the city’s most feared Don, Gianna is forced into the lace gown.
Under the heavy veil, she walks down the aisle.
Dante Marchetti expects a spoiled mafia princess. Instead, he gets Gianna.
It takes him exactly one look at her trembling lips after their first kiss to realize she isn't Camilla.
But with rival families watching and a war brewing over the city’s docks, Dante can’t afford a scandal. He offers her a deal: play the part, stay alive, and let him protect her.
As the bullets fly and rivals close in, the fake vows start feeling dangerous, and the substitute bride becomes the only thing Dante is willing to burn the city down to keep.
