The Spare Engagement

She's a mafia princess desperate for freedom.

He's a self-made king with no intention of letting her go.

When Sofia Vitale learns she's been promised to a powerful gang leader in Memphis, she decides there's only one option left: escape before the wedding can happen.

Malik Jones has spent his life building an empire from nothing. As the billionaire leader of the most successful gang in Memphis, he doesn't need a wife-and he certainly doesn't need the complications that come with marrying the daughter of a Chicago Mafia Don.

Unfortunately, a lucrative business deal leaves neither of them much choice.

Determined to reclaim her freedom, Sofia refuses to make life easy for her future husband. But the more time she spends with Malik, the harder it becomes to ignore the man beneath the reputation. Because while Malik may be dangerous, he is also patient, protective, and far more difficult to hate than she expected.

As tensions rise between their families and old enemies begin circling, Sofia finds herself caught between the life she's always wanted and the man she's never meant to love.

Will Sofia risk everything for a chance at freedom? Or will the bargain that brought them together cost them both far more than they were willing to pay?
