They Called Me a Fool, Until I Saved the Mafia Don

Ivy Bennett is dismissed by everyone as an autistic fool, so her family sends her to marry Alessandro Valenti in her sister’s place, expecting the feared Mafia Don in a wheelchair to be the death of her. They don’t know Ivy hides an extraordinary gift: she can understand animals. A peacock reveals poison, a wounded K9 points to a concealed injury, a starving horse opens the door to a billion-dollar deal, and even a stray cat leads to a buried inheritance. Time after time, Ivy saves Alessandro—until the woman everyone underestimated becomes the one he would kill to protect.
