I should’ve known better than to make a deal with a monster. When my ex-boyfriend puts a hit out on me, there’s only one man I can run to for protection. Cristian Marchetti. The head of the Marchetti Mafia Family. My best friend’s father. My last resort. Cristian’s protection doesn’t come free. But what he wants might cost me my life. He’s the mafia king, and I’m his sacrifice. And now, I must become his wife.

He’s the Mafia boss’s son. And just as ruthless as his father. I was ten when I first heard the term arranged marriage. From the way my cousin cried about hers, I knew it wasn’t a life I wanted. When I turned eighteen, I learned I’d face the same fate. Benny Marchetti is the heir to the most powerful family in New York City. He’s ruthless, cunning, and my contracted husband. Ten years have passed since my father broke the news, and now, the day has come. It’s time I become his wife. But what the Mafia prince doesn’t know is, he’s met his match.

The untouchable mafia princess falls for her family’s rival. _How cliché, right? But that’s my love story. Unfortunately, it’s filled with betrayal, violence, and tragedy._ As the daughter of the biggest crime boss in the country, I’m off-limits. A forbidden fruit no man risks taking. Except Antonio Lombardi. My world turns upside down when I witness him killing a man. He catches me before I can run and touches me with his murderous hands. After he lets me go, he becomes obsessive. My stalker. A man who claims ownership of me. When our families go to war, he’ll win by any means necessary. And it starts with him holding a gun to my head and forcing me to become his wife.
