The arrangement is over.
The marriage is real.
But the empire was never going to let them have peace.
Luca Mancini and Sofia Ricci chose each other. What began as an inherited contract became a marriage neither of them intends to escape. Now Sofia has a desk in the Naples study, a place inside Luca's world, and a role no one expected her to claim.
But old promises do not stay buried.
When Isabela Conti appears with documents from the past, she brings more than a family grievance. She brings a claim against the Mancini estate, a claim tied to the life Luca's father built before the Ricci alliance ever existed. If Isabela is right, the family owes her more than an apology. It owes her power.
Sofia knows how to read a claim before the room understands it has become a battlefield.
Luca knows his father's empire is never attacked from only one direction.
And Renato, patient and watchful, is waiting for the first mistake.
As legal strategy becomes family warfare, Luca and Sofia must prove that their marriage is not the weak point in the Mancini legacy.
It is the thing holding it together.
Complications is Book Two in the Sinful Heir series, a dark billionaire mafia romance with marriage tension, old family secrets, legal power games, inheritance drama, and a dangerous love that has become impossible to undo.
