I crave freedom and his marriage bed.
But I can’t have both.
I’m all that’s left of the powerful Greek Florakis mafia. My father and my older brothers were murdered in a yacht explosion off the coast of Crete, and now my family is in tatters.

But I’m playing the long game, and in the end, I’m going to win.
