Bride for the Mobster

Matteo Rossi

My father is finally ready to hand over control of our family’s empire to me, but he has one condition before I can become don of the Rossi family: I must marry a woman of his choosing. My father’s greatest joy was his marriage, and he is adamant that the same be said for me. I tell him have no interest in a wife; she’ll just be a distraction I don’t need, but he believes I need a woman to keep me grounded and his condition is set, so I must obey. But when I meet my bride-to-be, I realize my father and I were both right. Sofia is a distraction…and she’s exactly what I need. I might be the most formidable man in New York City, but Sofia is more formidable still because she has the power to bring me to my knees. And when an unknown enemy reveals themselves, I’m ready to go to war for the woman I love. My wife.

Sofia Marino

An arranged, loveless marriage like the one that keeps both of my parents miserable seems like a fate worse than death. I’d much rather pursue a career in fashion design and leave all dreams of romance to my younger sisters. But just as I’m ready to embark on my new career, my father drops a bomb on me. He’s not only arranged for me to marry, but he’s promised me to Matteo Rossi, the notorious mafia prince set to assume his father’s throne. I might have spent the last several years living abroad, but even I’ve heard of Matteo…and none of it was good. He’s cold and aloof and everything I’ve dreaded in a husband. Or so I assume until our wedding day when I see a side of him I never expected. Now I’m not so sure our marriage will be loveless after all, but that could make it all the more devastating. Will my husband break my heart, or will his enemies get to me first?
