He thought marrying her was enough...until he realised it wasn't
Alexander Petrov thought he had everything he needed to inherit his father's mafia. At the age of 32, he had everything he could possibly want...except Elriana. He knows that beneath her cold, guarded exterior, there is a flame that awaits to be ignited into a wildfire. And he also knows he shouldn't want her. She is the daughter of their sworn enemy.
But when a clause in the will states that Alexander must need a wife to inherit the mafia and both the Spanish mafia and the Russian mafia get attacked by the French, Alexander sees an opportunity arise. He strikes a deal with the Spanish stating that a marriage between Alexander and Elriana in exchange of an alliance against the French.
But can he really stop himself from giving in to his desires, or will he just say fuck it and claim her as he needed to for so long?
_______________________________________________________________________________
Elriana Cruz is calm, composed, and sharp-minded, with an air of quiet confidence that commands attention. Raised in the world of her family's mafia, she's strategic and ruthless when necessary.
She never wanted to get in to an arranged marriage, especially not with a certain Russian heir who is the only person who has the power to see through her.
At first, she views Alexander as a pawn in the political marriage of convenience, however, as she gets to know the man beneath the calm and composed strategic heir, something shifts within her. She finds herself drawn to him, despite herself-his strength, his calm under pressure, and the quiet intensity that contrasts with her own hidden fiery nature.
Will she be able to resist the inevitable or will she unleash something far more dangerous?

"I'm way too attached for you to lose me. Never again." I cocked my eyebrow. "Never?"

An alliance that was doomed before it even began... ❥❥❥❥ They call her princess, but she was never looking for a prince charming. Good thing he's anything but. Completely irresponsible, troublesome, and a liability, there's nothing remotely noble about him. Not that there's anything righteous about what their families' do to begin with... However something about her just seems so right to him. Too bad he can't have her. So, perhaps it's a good thing she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. ....... Tough, resilient, and lethal- Cara runs through danger like it's child's play. And as the daughter of an Irish mob boss, she's been placed on a pedestal high up in the clouds, so she already has almost anything she could ever want. And of what she doesn't have, Leonardo "Leo" Ricci- the youngest and most reckless member of the Ricci famiglia surely couldn't provide it for her. But there's something she didn't account for- Leo's wild inhibitions, free-spirited nature, and unwavering devotion, might end up being just what she needs. It doesn't matter though, because the developing burn between the two of them could threaten everything, especially her plans. Plans that she didn't realize were flimsy to begin with, going up in smoke upon chaos being unleashed. Proving just how cursed her little arrangement really was. But in the midst of the destruction that the inferno leaves behind, can she find the blessing in disguise? ❥❥❥❥ - Dark Romance - Reverse Sunshine x Grumpy - Forbidden - Mafia -He Falls First -Forced Proximity

Forced love
ARRANGED MARRIAGE "I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything. Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence. Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did. "I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down. My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later. "But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only. My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction. "Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants?
