Why we recommend it
Vows made beneath scars and obligation anchor this Greek mafia opener. An arranged marriage binds a wary heroine to a dangerous, possessive man, and what begins as duty smolders into something darker. Expect simmering tension, slow-thawing intimacy, and a brutal world where trust is hard-won. Atmospheric and intense, it's forced-marriage mafia romance for readers who love reluctant bonds turning into fierce, all-consuming devotion.
