Their Vengeful Widow

Don Emilio Sartori dies at his own anniversary feast, poisoned by wine poured for his wife. The old law gives Nadia Sartori forty days: remarry a man of the blood, or the seat passes to the cousin already measuring the room for his portrait. Four men circle the widow the guard who failed to taste her wine in time, the rival heir who was watching her when the don fell, the brother who proposed at the funeral, and the fixer who knew before the bottle was uncorked. One of them knows who killed her husband. All four want his widow and none of them will let the forty days take her. One woman. Four men. No choosing.
