My Mercenary Corvo by Avery Stern
Florence, Italy 1519
Raimona promised mercenary Corvo that she would wait for him, but he never returned. Five years later, she’s ill-prepared for the vindictive brute who crashes her engagement party, no longer the man she remembers.
Now a wealthy enforcer for a powerful count, Corvo is determined to claim her—not for love, but for revenge. Forced into an unexpected marriage and dragged across the mountains to a life far from the comforts of Florence, Raimona’s heart and mind are at war. Corvo stirs a passion in her she can’t resist, even as he demands her submission at every turn. But Raimona is no longer the naïve girl he left behind. She has her own dangerous secrets to keep.
When a blackmailer threatens to expose them, she is thrust into a game of espionage that could destroy everyone she holds dear. As Raimona's feelings for Corvo rekindle, dark truths surface about their marriage, forcing her to question whether she can ever trust him—or herself—again.
Publisher's Note: This dark romantic mystery contains vivid scenes and elements of power exchange.
