Eleanor never imagined her simple act of friendship would lead her into a whirlwind of danger and deceit. When her mother's battle with cancer reaches a critical point, Eleanor finds herself accepting a seemingly straightforward arrangement with her only friend, Giuseppe DeLuca. In exchange for financial support for her mother's treatment, Eleanor agrees to travel halfway around the world to marry Giuseppe's enigmatic brother, Francesco.

However, just moments before the wedding, Eleanor discovers that her groom is not the average millionaire she had been led to believe. Francesco DeLuca is, in fact, the formidable leader of the Sicilian Mafia. What was supposed to be a two-week charade-during which Francesco would help his friend smuggle guns into the country-takes a dramatic turn when Francesco falls for Eleanor the moment he lays eyes on her.

As Eleanor struggles to navigate the treacherous waters of her new life, Francesco grapples with keeping his criminal empire a secret while proving his love and commitment to Eleanor. Their budding romance is tested by the dual threats of betrayal from unexpected quarters and the danger lurking in Francesco's clandestine world.

Caught between love and loyalty, Eleanor and Francesco must confront their darkest fears and deepest desires. With both their lives and hearts on the line, can they find a way to protect their newfound love from the forces that threaten to tear them apart?

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. I never thought my world would crumble at the hands of a man like Alessandro Rossi-a 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 draped in silk suits and ruthlessness. One moment, I was Yasenia Fraga, daughter of the powerful Galician mafia Don Juan Fraga, and the next, I was dragged into a war I never asked for. Alessandro didn't just kidnap me, he aggressively took over my life. He ripped me from my peaceful life and thrust me into his darkness, forcing me to marry him to secure his family's grip on my father's territory. To him, I'm nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way to tighten his stranglehold on Galicia. But Alessandro doesn't realize that breaking me will cost him more than he expects. Under all that cruelty lies a sick obsession, one that seeps into every look, every touch, every promise of destruction. He's ruthless, controlling, and heartless, yet something darker stirs between us, something neither of us can deny. In his world, love doesn't exist, only power. And if I want to survive, I'll have to decide if I'll fight him, or let myself be consumed by him. Because one thing is clear-whether I want it or not, I am his. And in his eyes, I always will be. 🔞 #1 - mafiaboss #1 - guns #1 - secrets #5 - forcedmarriage #10 - enemiestolovers #7 - possessive #13 - drama #2 - guns

Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
