The Substitute Bride Conquers the Mafia Don

At twelve, Gia was sold by her birth father and stepmother into a Mexican drug cartel compound, yet she crawled out alive from the pile of corpses and rose to become a top-tier agent codenamed "Viper." To reclaim her mother's keepsake, she married in the place of her cowardly stepsister — wed to Dante, the Sicilian mafia don, a cold-blooded man whose three previous wives had all died at his hands. On the surface, Gia was gentle and composed; beneath it, she was a master of combat, medicine, and gambling. She healed Dante's blind eldest son, won over his unruly youngest, and on a bloody night of fighting, personally eliminated the family's sworn enemy. From a bride who stood in for another to the true matriarch of the mafia family, her creed is simple: "I have no divorce — only widowhood."
