About the book

Trilogy: Omertà ​Desires and Wagers #1 ​The tradition was sacred: two nights a year, a truce. The Volkovs and the Morettis played poker at THE VIEW Lugano. ​But the final game came with a trap that neither heir saw coming. The patriarchs, weary of the skirmishes in the streets, sealed a blood pact over the green felt: the final card would decide the fate of their lineages. If the King of Hearts appeared, a union between the most powerful mafias of Russia and Calabria would be forged. ​The card was revealed. And the fates of Mikhail Volkov and Giovanna Moretti were chained forever. ​Now, Mikhail and Giovanna must sign a marriage contract they loathe. There is no love—only clauses of steel and a forced coexistence.

    Good morning, will it be free? Because from Cuba, it's not possible to pay, and I don't want to start reading and not be able to finish. I await your response, thank you, greetings, and best wishes.
