When the bride runs, someone else must take her place. Zara Williams escaped her family’s criminal empire years ago. She refuses to be traded like property—until her cousin flees her arranged marriage and a war looms over Philadelphia. Now Zara is the substitute bride. Married off to John Castellano, a silver-haired Don who doesn’t repeat himself and doesn’t tolerate defiance, she expects a cold arrangement and a loveless bed. What she doesn’t expect is him. Controlled. Ruthless. Absolute in every decision—except when it comes to her. The marriage was meant to be temporary. ...

I am the Hollow Prince. I do not share. I absolutely do not release. One accidental touch. One ancient bond that snaps tight between us like a chain I never asked for. Now every breath she takes lives inside my chest and every step she tries to take toward the surface feels like theft. I do not let surface soft things walk away with pieces of me still burning in their veins. She thinks she can map her way out. She thinks the bond is temporary. She is wrong on both counts.

I was never supposed to be his wife. When my perfect older sister flees her arranged marriage, my father shoves me in her place—offering me up like a pawn to Dario Costa, the most feared Mafia Don in Philadelphia. Cold, ruthless, and eleven years my senior, he takes one look at me and sees nothing but a broken substitute. A wife unworthy of him.

But the more I push, the more possessive he becomes. The more I fight, the harder he ...

And when the walls come down, I realize something terrifying— He never wanted my sister. He wanted me. Now I’m ...
