Marry Me Not

She was his unwanted fiancée. Now she's the wife he craves but can never possess.

I always knew I'd return to New York one day-step back into my family's world, marry a man my brother chose, and carry out my duty. I just never imagined that man wouldn't want a wife-least of all me.

Cosimo Ferraro is cold. Controlled. Untouchable. A ruthless mafia prince who doesn't believe in letting anyone inside his impenetrable walls.

His words are cruel, his dismissals cutting. Yet every time we're in the same room, his gaze finds me... and refuses to let go.

The pull between us is impossible to ignore. But Cosimo fights it-and me-with everything he's got.

That's when his world fractures. His father is murdered. Suddenly the man who wanted nothing to do with me needs me to help him seize the throne he was born to take.

Six months, he promises. Six months of marriage before he'll set me free.

But six months is long enough for everything to burn-his control, my defenses, and the line between what's real and what was supposed to be pretend.
