Of Oaths and Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Corrupted Dynasties)

He’s the ruthless reaper of the Mafia. She’s the light he never expected. Together, they’re bound by vows that could either save them—or destroy them.
Nora
In a world where love is a luxury and duty is a prison, my father’s demands seal my fate—an arranged marriage to one of the infamous Lucchese brothers. But I never expected to choose Rafaele, Il Mietitore, the ruthless reaper feared by all. Behind his cold, controlled exterior lies a darkness even my bright spirit may not be able to survive. Yet, despite the danger, something in him calls to me. Maybe it’s because, like me, he hides scars beneath the surface. I’ve made my choice. Now, I just have to live with it—or die trying. Rafaele
They call me Il Mietitore—the Reaper. I am the hand of death in a world bound by blood and betrayal. I don’t need love, and I certainly don’t need a wife. But when Nora Falcone chooses me, everything changes. She’s everything I’m not—light, warmth, and life in a world where I deal only in death. I didn’t want this marriage, but now that she’s mine, I’ll protect her from the shadows that follow me. Loyalty binds us both, but in this world, that might not be enough to save her from the darkness that lives inside me.
