Gianna Lucatello is innocence trapped in a gilded cage.
Raised under her father's iron fist, she dreams of a life beyond his control. But when her quiet rebellion draws the attention of the wrong people, she learns that freedom has a cost—and safety comes with chains.
Dishonorable Hero takes place five years before Charming Villain. It reveals the scars Luciano carries, the cage Gianna can't escape, and sets the stage for their happily ever after.
