On my knees before him, I'm compelled to submit to Marco Barone.

As king of this city, he should be bowing before me, Giancarlo Botticelli. But behind closed doors, with his perfect body towering above mine, I am powerless to my need for him once again.

Poor timing has us reconnecting as war is raging through the city. In the midst of this war, my brother agreed to pay a debt to garner peace. A debt I must pay by marrying Irene Andreyev, the sister of one of our family's enemies.

I will make this sacrifice for my family. I'll marry her and bind our families by blood, but only on my terms.

I refuse to give up the man who fulfills my desires. She can take us both or watch this city burn.
