Hidden Flames [The Ludovicas: Second Generation Book Three]

(Can be read as a standalone.)

My parents are hell bent on getting me married, convinced that a wife will magically "fix" me.

As a mafia leader, idle talks and constant affection makes no sense to me. Never had and never will.

Thanks to some dumb rule and my parents' constant nagging, I settle down with the girl of their choice.

Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking.

And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me.

I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.
