More Than a Deal
Sienna Carter had her life planned out-a quiet job as a librarian, a cozy apartment, and a loving boyfriend, Ethan, who talked about marriage and a future filled with stability. She was content, safe, and far removed from the world of crime and violence. But everything shatters when her father-a struggling businessman-falls into massive debt with the Romano crime family. With no way to pay, the debt collectors don't take money; they take loyalty. The solution? A contract marriage between Sienna and the powerful, ruthless mafia boss, Dante Romano. Dante has built his empire on control and strategy. This marriage isn't about love-it's about power, influence, and making sure his enemies know that loyalty to him comes before all else. He expects obedience, not defiance. But Sienna is unlike anyone he's ever met. She refuses to bow to his world, to the dark underbelly of crime she's been forced into. And, most of all, she refuses to forget Ethan-the man she was supposed to spend forever with. At first, Sienna resents Dante, clinging to memories of the life she lost. But as time passes, the lines blur. She starts to see beyond the ruthless exterior-the man who reads poetry in secret, who carries the weight of an empire on his shoulders, and who, despite his power, seems just as trapped as she is. Ethan fights to get her back, but the more she learns about Dante, the harder it becomes to ignore the unexpected pull between them. Is her heart betraying her? Or was love never as simple as she once believed? In a world where love is a liability and loyalty is life or death, Sienna must choose: Hold on to the man who once promised her forever or risk everything for the one she never expected to love.
