Annabel Sutton has spent months keeping her baby brother alive on empty promises and overdue paychecks — until the night she walks into her boss’s office and finds him dead.
Then the police decide she did it.
Leone Conti has spent years ruling the Bronx with a steady hand. When he finds Annabel hiding in his spare property, a girl on the run with a baby strapped to her chest and nowhere else to go, he decides he can solve both their problems with one swift move.
Marriage.
Marrying Annabel is supposed to protect her. Instead, it puts her under his roof, in his bed, and straight in the path of the cartel killer who framed her. She wants to stay unattached. He wants to keep control. But forced proximity has a way of turning protection into obsession, and Leone is done pretending his wife is only temporary.
And when the men hunting Annabel close in, they’ll learn too late that the only thing more dangerous than a ruthless mafia capo is the husband who has already decided she belongs to him.
This novella has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. It can be read as a standalone.
CW: This over-the-top, possessive mafia romance features marriage of convenience, forced proximity, wrongfully accused heroine, single guardian heroine, found family, cartel violence, kidnapping/captive themes, a morally gray capo, ‘no one touches my wife’ energy, bondage, power imbalance, and intense chemistry. HEA guaranteed.
