Between Oceans and Vows

Dr. Adanna Wigwe has built her life on precision, discipline, and control. As an orthopedic surgeon in America, she doesn’t have time for distractions—especially not dangerously charming men with too much money and secrets behind their smiles. Then she meets Alessandro Ricci. He's cold, powerful and untouchable. An Italian billionaire with a reputation that makes people lower their voices. Their first meeting should have been forgettable. It was simply a brief exchange. Instead, it becomes the beginning of something neither of them planned. Because Alessandro doesn’t date. He proposes. With only three months to secure a wife or risk losing everything tied to his family’s legacy, he offers Adanna a deal she should refuse: A marriage of convenience. A lavish wedding. A life she never imagined. No emotions. No complications. Just a contract. But nothing about Alessandro Ricci is simple. What begins as an arrangement quickly turns into something far more dangerous—late-night conversations, stolen glances, a pull she can’t explain… and a man who seems to see through every wall she’s ever built. And when secrets from his world begin to surface—dark, violent, and impossible to escape—Adanna realizes she may have agreed to more than a marriage. She may have stepped into a life she can’t walk away from. And the man she was never supposed to love… might be the one she can’t survive without.
