To pay for her mother’s surgery, struggling design student Ivy Reed accepts fifty thousand dollars to pose as mafia heir Luca Moretti’s girlfriend. She knows he’s only using her to make his ex jealous. What she doesn’t expect is to meet the stranger she’s been falling for in her dreams for six months—Luca’s feared older brother, Dante, the head of the Moretti family. Worse, he remembers their dreams, too. When Luca sides with his ex after she humiliates Ivy, Ivy ends their arrangement and leaves town with her mother. Eight months later, she has graduated, found a design job, and begun rebuilding her life. Then Dante buys her company. He wants the woman who made him believe he could have a life beyond duty. She wants love without sacrificing the independence she fought to earn. With Luca determined to win her back and their secret growing harder to hide, Dante must prove that his devotion comes with something money and power cannot buy: the freedom to choose him.
