His Captive Heirloom

The Fiore palazzo is the only thing Nicolette's family has left, and she refuses to sell it — loudly, publicly, in front of three hundred guests. By morning the buyer has produced a loan her father signed eleven years ago, naming her as collateral, and Luca Bruno is standing in her foyer with the paperwork and a car. He installs her in her own east wing and gives her eleven weeks to find the settlement. She finds something else in the archive: a marriage contract from 1643 that names the east wing, and everything in it, as the property of the woman who lives there. An enemies-to-lovers mafia captive romance in a Florence palazzo where the trick is in the fine print.
