She Dressed as Santa on Christmas Eve, Mafia Boss Ripped Off Her Beard and Said 'You're Not Leaving'

She needed $300 to survive. So she put on a rented Santa suit and knocked on a stranger's door.
She didn't know the mansion belonged to the Marchettis.
She didn't know the man who answered—tall, dangerous, with amber eyes that saw straight through her disguise—was Romeo Marchetti, the most feared mafia boss in the city.
And she definitely didn't know he'd been searching for her for twenty years.

When he ripped off her fake beard and saw her face—saw the heart-shaped birthmark on her wrist—everything changed.

"You're not leaving," he said. And he locked the door behind her.

Noelle Adams was nobody. A broke college student. An orphan with forty-seven dollars and four days until eviction. She thought this was just a Christmas party gig—play Santa, make some money, go home.

But Romeo Marchetti had other plans.

A contract: Marry him for one year. One million dollars. No touching. No questions.

She should have said no.
She should have run.
She should never have signed her name next to his.

But when his eight-year-old niece wrapped her arms around Noelle and whispered "stay"... when Romeo's cold mask cracked and she saw the fire burning beneath... when he kissed her at midnight on New Year's Eve like she was the only thing in the world that mattered...

She realized the most dangerous thing wasn't the contract.
It wasn't the enemies hunting her.
It wasn't even the secret about who she really was.

It was falling in love with a man who'd married her for revenge... and realizing he might have fallen for her too.
