Eliana Mariani had two secrets she planned on taking to her grave. Eliana's first secret was driven by fear, and completely justifiable. When Eliana was nine she pulled the fire alarm at her school's Christmas concert because the thought of having to sing her Silent Night solo gave her hives. Her second secret was driven by desire, and inexcusable. No matter how hard she tried to deny it, Eliana knew Apollo Costa was the hottest man she'd ever met.
Eliana has spent her entire life trying to distance herself from her family's criminal enterprise. An arranged engagement to Apollo Costa threw her right back into the life she thought she'd finally escaped. When Eliana's father cashes in a favor, Eliana has no choice but to accept a proposal from Apollo. Aside from being his family's enforcer, Apollo was especially good at one thing: ruining Eliana's life. Every day it got harder for Eliana to balance her dream of becoming an attorney and marrying an underboss.
Eliana knew just how evil the world she'd grown up in could be. Desperate to right the wrongs Eliana's family had committed, she dedicated her life to doing good. Eliana dreamed of one day leaving this world of crime and death behind, but deep down she knew there was no escape. Apollo on the other hand, felt no remorse for the sins he'd committed. He'd made a deal with the devil years ago, and never looked back. He had plans to take over for his father, and continue his family's legacy. He would have never agreed to marry Eliana if he thought there was another way to protect his family.
Although he tried to deny it, Eliana was becoming quite the distraction. Eliana thought she was hiding her attraction for him, but Apollo saw right through her little act. The walls to her bedroom were quite thin, and Apollo had developed a terrible habit of walking by her room late at night. He was addicted to the way his name rolled off of her tongue when she thought no one was listening.
