Book 3 of the DeLuca Mafia Series 


Alessia DeLuca has known since she was a child that once she was an adult she would be forced into a marriage with a man she didn't know. It was just how things worked in the life of organized crime. You married to strengthen your family not for love. What she doesn't know is she has been Dante DiSalvo's future wife since they were kids thanks to a deal her father made with his father. Her older brothers tried everything to get out of the contract but without harming the family it was impossible. What her family doesn't know is she fell in love with someone close to her and things crossed lines that were never supposed to be bared. She's determined to find a way out of this arrangement even if it's the last thing she will ever do. 

Dante DiSalvo has known about the contract with the DeLuca's since he was a teen and instead of fighting his father on it, he embraced it and it turned into a full fledged obsession. He knows Alessia wants nothing to do with him, she's made it very obvious, but he isn't easily deterred. A death rocks the shaky ground they stand on before they can even say I do, but Dante will let nothing stop him from finally making Alessia his.

What happens when your obsession finally becomes yours? What happens when your stalker becomes your husband?

Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
