The Life Sciences, Torture, Intuition and Imagination. by Hélène Sicard

She wasn't the bride meant for him-but she's the one he couldn't resist.

In the shadows of two powerful crime families, an arranged marriage was meant to seal a blood pact. He's Brazilian, raised in chaos. She's Italian, born into the Mafia. Their union was never supposed to happen.

Victor-ruthless, calculating, and dangerously irresistible-is the mastermind behind one of Brazil's most notorious arms trafficking empires. At thirty, he's cold, controlled, and loyal only to power. Bound by a blood oath made years ago, Victor must marry into the Italian Mafia to solidify a deadly alliance.

But he doesn't choose the twin promised to him.
He chooses her.

Bianca has spent her life under the unforgiving rule of the Mafia. At nineteen, she was never meant to be a bride-especially not his. But one stolen glance, one moment of raw, undeniable chemistry, changes everything. Their connection is electric, their fate sealed by desire instead of duty.

Now, Bianca must survive a world of violence, secrets, and control-where loyalty means submission and love could be her downfall.
Victor needs a wife who obeys.
Bianca was never taught how to kneel.

Dangerous. Addictive. Forbidden.
