Charlotte had just undergone a mastectomy. Marriage was the last thing on her mind. But to honor her grandfather’s dying wish, she agreed to marry the second grandson of New York’s most powerful mafia family. It was supposed to be cold. Strategic. Loveless. Until the veil lifted at the altar—And it wasn’t her fiancé standing there. It was Cassian Moretti. Her fiancé’s older brother. The man she kissed once to escape danger. The man who never forgot. He’d kidnapped his own brother. Planted a bomb beneath the church. And told the Marry us, or watch it burn. So she became his. Not out of love—But out of fire, obsession, and control. He locked her away. Mocked her mastectomy scars. Told her she looked like a man. Only touched her in the dark—never face-to-face. She was his wife. His prisoner. His punishment. Until she left. No warning. No note. Just silence. Now, he’s tearing through cities—Destroying anyone who might know where she’s gone. Because losing her Was the one wound He’ll never survive.

Author

O.S Feathers
Author · 3 books

O.S Feathers writes dark, twisty love stories about morally questionable men and the fierce, brilliant women who bring them to their knees, sometimes literally. She has a soft spot for arranged marriages, possessive antiheroes, and heroines who know how to shoot or at least threaten with style. She drinks too much coffee, lives for slow-burn tension, and has never met a knife-to-throat scene she didn’t love. When she’s not writing, she’s probably researching obscure Russian swear words, rewriting a spicy chapter for the third time, or convincing her characters that therapy is not, in fact, the enemy. If you like your love stories messy, dangerous, and just a little unhinged, she’s got you.
