Laurel Finch’s ex-fiancé invites her to his wedding with one last insult: bring a guest—if she can find a man willing to be seen with her. Angry and embarrassed, she turns to the most dangerous man in her studio. “Come to my ex’s wedding.” Ronan Varelli says yes. Laurel sets the rules: no fake relationship, no threats, and no revenge. She wants to face her past, not let a Mafia boss fight her battles. But her ex isn’t prepared for the woman who walks into his wedding. Neither is his bride. As carefully disguised insults become an open confrontation, Laurel discovers that Ronan’s attention is more personal than she imagined—and that one question about her ex’s latest business venture could change the entire evening.
