The king of the mafia swore off love. Then he met… her. Emilia It starts as an interview. The mafia king needs brides for his brothers. An arranged marriage to bind our families. He sees the bruises I wear. He wants to protect me. He demands to be obeyed. He steals me from my home. I fight back. But when he puts his hands on me… I find my resistance is useless. Each time I push him away, it’s with weaker hands. He took my innocence, but I can’t let him take... My heart. Liam She’s a tiny thing, so young and naïve. Beautiful and brave but loyal to a fault. She needs the firm hand of a strong man. Just… not my own. She was meant to marry one of my brothers. I never wanted a ring on my own finger. But now I want to put my hands on her. Tear her innocence away from her. Be the first and the only man to touch her. I can’t get her out of my mind. I’ve gone from wanting to punish her… To wanting to make her mine.
