Phantom has worked his way up the Armani criminal organization with ease. The past fifteen years have been spent proving his loyalty, honing his craft, and protecting those that have become like family to him. After the death of Creole Armani, a new position opens up, and Phantom is perfect for the job. There’s only one problem—he has to be married. For the Armani’s, family is everything. For an orphaned thug, family means nothing. If it means appeasing the family and earning a spot higher up the chain, Phantom is willing to take those vows and marry one of the Armani daughters… except… the only one he wants has no interest in him. One bribe laced with blackmail, one arranged marriage, one family… all under one roof for the Thanksgiving holiday. Will this thug in need of love get his version of a happily ever after that comes with a loveless marriage and promotion, or will he find himself finessed by the plug’s daughter and end up getting something realer than he ever thought was possible?
