FORCED TO WED: A grieving mafia princess trapped in a deadly alliance…with the one man she swore she could never have.

She’s my best friend’s daughter.
Barely twenty-two.
Sacred. Forbidden. Mine.

She never dreamed she'd wear my ring, share my name, warm my bed…
But with her father's blood still fresh on the streets and vultures circling, I'm the devil she knows.

What began as duty ignites into an obsession I can't control.

Because when I look at Bella now, I don't see Giovanni's innocent little girl.
I see the woman who could bring me to my knees.

As she claws her way to power at my side, I'm losing the battle to resist her.
The walls I built from my first wife's betrayal are falling,
And the secrets in my past could get us both killed.

With my baby growing inside her,
And my brother plotting our destruction,
I'll paint this city red.
Because I'll slaughter anyone who tries to take what's mine

“You were never just a duty, Bella. You were always meant to be my salvation.”

I was forced to save his life, but it was my decision to give the mafia prince my heart.

Lorenzo fell in love with me after I was kidnapped to secretly operate on him.

It was terrifying, but the thought of death was even more unacceptable.

I had to stay alive for my sick brother.

But now, I have a real shot at saving him.

Lorenzo’s father has proposed a fake relationship that seems crazy to me.

Publicly dating Lorenzo would benefit the crime family.

In return, I would succeed as a trauma surgeon and save the future of my hospital.

The plan was perfect on paper.

But Lorenzo was the opposite of that.

He was older, dangerous, and played tricks on my mind.

Yet, my heart longed for him like it never had for anyone else.

Lorenzo could have my love, but my trust was off-limits.

Especially after he broke every rule in the book, doing the unthinkable that we could never come back from…

𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒆
It wasn’t a lie.
Your father’s debt had nothing to do with me, but when Malachi demanded blood, I couldn’t let you be slaughtered. You need to believe that claiming you was the only way I could save you. These beasts will never have their fill, and the only thing that could keep you safe was the name I built.
Montreal will know you as the Butcher’s Bride. Your father’s debt will be erased, your family will be safe, and eventually, you’ll realize that I did what I had to.
You have to, Gwen
Because I can’t spend a life without you.

𝑮𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒏
How could you do this to me?
After everything I told you, after everything I shared, how could you still lie to me? You made me believe you were different. You gave me the hope of a new life, and then you stole it all away.
My father had no right to trade me away, but I expected it from him. To know you were so willing to buy me, so willing to trade me, so willing to treat me like I was nothing? How was I supposed to expect that, Leslie?
I left this life behind two years ago, and not even the Butcher will drag me back.

Killer. Heartbreaker. Husband…?

BLAINE:
I hurt, break and kill for a living. The Family point, I deliver.
But this time, they ask too much. This time, they want me to marry the one woman who knows my secret. She has reason to hate me, I know, but I’ll take her, I’ll break her, and I’ll make her mine.
That’s the only way I can keep my secret.

MIRA:
When I ran away eight years ago, I thought I’d escaped the underworld I’d always known.
I made a life for myself. I thought I was free. Then my past came knocking at my door.
Now I’m marrying the son of London’s biggest crime family. A man who hates me as much as I hate him. He’s ruthless, brutal, and dangerous—everything I’ve always feared.
He’s taken away the life I built, he’s taken my freedom. And now, I fear he’s taken my sanity, too.
How else could I be falling in love with him?
