Why we recommend it

Ruthless vows bind two reluctant partners in this standalone mafia romance. The hero is cold, commanding and dangerous; the heroine refuses to be broken by the marriage forced upon her. Expect a combative power struggle that thaws into reluctant heat and fierce loyalty. For readers who want forced-marriage tension, a self-contained story and an alpha who guards his wife as fiercely as he once resisted her.
