An Italian billionaire.

The girl next door.

A marriage pact neither of them forgot.

One secret that puts her back in his life.

Lorenzo Deluca has always been mistaken for the good guy. Chivalrous. Controlled. The one people turn to when conflict threatens to destroy everything.

But Lorenzo is still a Deluca.

Unpredictable. Dangerous. And loyal to a family legacy built on secrets.

The one thing he doesn’t see coming? Janet Gibelli. 

His childhood friend. The girl next door. The woman he once promised to marry if neither of them had found someone else by thirty.

Back then, it was a harmless pact.

Now it’s the perfect excuse for Janet to get close again.

Working for a rival family has taught her how to survive in a world built on loyalty, leverage, and betrayal. So, when she’s ordered to get close to Lorenzo, watch him, and report back, she tells herself she’s only doing what she has to do.

But Lorenzo doesn’t know the truth.

And the closer Janet gets, the harder it is for him to keep seeing her as the girl he grew up with.

Their marriage pact was supposed to be a joke. A promise made before money, power, and family secrets could ruin everything.

But once Lorenzo realizes Janet is no longer the girl next door, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Even if claiming her means exposing every secret buried in his family’s legacy.

Tropes:

• marriage pact
  
• rivals to lovers
  
• boy/girl next door
  
• forced proximity
  
• he speaks fluent Italian to her
  
• he wears slutty little glasses
