Having the boy she thought loved her follow her and torture her at every opportunity broke her.

And finding out that it was all for nothing, that all the pain and loss was over money... is infuriating.

One child and one marriage between a Rushford and a Williams is what it will take to set them free. 

Amelia isn't the heartbroken girl from high school anymore. That girl was destroyed. The girl in her place is a mosaic made from the shattered pieces of that girl and she's not going to let anyone break her ever again.

My father's gambling debts led to me being married off to the scariest man in the Cosa Nostra. So you know, things aren't great exactly. But it's fine. I'll make the best of it. And if he wants nothing to do with me...well, then I'll just live my life without him. Because unlike the heroines I read about in my books, I don't need a man. And to be totally honest, I'm not even sure if I want one. **All Bets Are Off is a mafia-lite romcom, with a guaranteed HEA, no OW drama, and groveling (although the heroine couldn't really give a shit if the MMC ends up with her or not.) Happy reading, my lovely readers. :)
