What King of Wrath is about
Dante Russo is a billionaire CEO who is ruthless, meticulous, arrogant and used to being in control. He never intended to marry, but blackmail pushes him into an engagement with Vivian Lau, a jewelry heiress and the daughter of his newest enemy. His first plan is simple: destroy the evidence and the betrothal. Then he finds he cannot bring himself to let her go.
Vivian is elegant, ambitious and well-mannered, the perfect daughter. Her new-money family hopes a marriage to a blue-blooded Russo will open doors in high society, and she agrees out of duty. Falling in love with her future husband was never part of the plan. An arranged marriage, a powerful man, and a woman raised to do what is expected of her set the stage for this romance about control, duty and class.
