Why we recommend it

A merciless don takes a much younger bride in this age-gap mafia romance. The hero is hardened, powerful and possessive; the heroine, an innocent pulled into his dangerous world. Expect simmering tension across the years between them, a coerced union thawing into desire, and the brutal glamour of underworld life. For dark-romance readers who love a commanding older alpha and a forbidden, protective pull, it delivers heat and shadow.
