He thought he was saving her. He was handing her to the wolves. Ten years ago, the eldest Sokolov brother made a desperate choice to protect his baby sister from the bloodbath of a mafia war. He paid her mother a fortune to take her far away and keep her safe, believing that a mother would do everything for their child. It was a secret he kept from his five brothers-a promise of protection that was supposed to be her salvation. But the money wasn't enough to buy a mother's love. Instead of safety, their sister was sold to the highest bidder-discarded into an abusive household where she spent a decade surviving a nightmare her brothers never knew existed. Now, ten years later, the truth has surfaced, and the girl they traded away has been found. She isn't the innocent child they remember. She is a hollowed-out survivor who looks at her brothers not as heroes, but as the men who paid for her disappearance. The Sokolov circle is finally whole again, but as the six brothers move to burn the world down for what was done to her, they must face the most brutal truth of all: The seventh scar was carved by their own hands.

When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both.

And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.

When you're trapped between a crooked cop and the leader of a powerful mafia family, sometimes the only way to get yourself out is to dive back in. Sadie Sorento thinks she's left the mafia life behind. But when she finds herself in hot water with the police, she is offered a choice: go back to where she came from and spy on Brandon Avenetti, feared mafia leader and her ex-boyfriend, or her brother goes to jail. Returning to her old world of drugs, violence, and a ruthlessly attractive former lover proves more complicated than she'd ever imagined, however, and the passion Sadie and Brandon had both thought was dead in the water proves to be as dangerously intense as the cop hunting them. Now, Sadie and Brandon will have to play dirty if they're going to take down a man hell-bent on destroying them both; because if they don't, their families, their relationship, and their very lives will be on the line.
