Terms of Posssession (Book 1 from the Mafia Dynasties Series)

She was the coldest woman he'd ever met. So he did the only thing a ruthless mafia don could do-he married her.

When fiery Neapolitan mafia boss Matteo Vittori is forced into an arranged marriage with Valerie Graham-a British art dealer with ice in her veins and secrets behind her eyes-he expects a lifeless union of convenience. What he doesn't expect is to become obsessed with the one woman who can't stand to be around him.

Matteo didn't want a wife. Especially not the only woman who's rejected him since the moment they met. But in Naples, when the family demands a union... the Don obeys.

Valerie didn't want a husband. Especially not the most feared man in Southern Italy-violent, beautiful, and obsessed with control.

They struck a bargain: five perks for him. Five rules for her. A cold arrangement to survive their unwanted marriage.

But somewhere between the silent dinners, stolen glances, and locked doors, something shifted. Matteo-who never believed in softness-found himself watching her every move like a starving man.

He fell first.
And he fell hard.

Now the man who once ruled Naples without mercy is unraveling behind closed doors, consumed by a wife who won't touch him, haunted by a love he was never supposed to feel.

Because the deeper he falls for Valerie, the more he realizes:
Winning her heart might cost him everything-including the empire he swore he'd never sacrifice.

"Don't ever think I will succumb to you, Cacciatore. You don't stop. You don't let go. You hunt until there's nothing left of the person you're chasing."
He only smiled.
"And yet you're still standing, amore. Still mine. Maybe that's because I wasn't hunting to kill... I was hunting to keep."

Welcome to the Mafia Dynasty Series. This is a dark romance set in Italy, where four ruling families are treated like royalty.
