Bloody Lace: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance

My dreams went up in smoke. Then he walked in and offered me a deal: marry him, and he’d give me the miracle I needed.
For six years, I’ve carved out a small and happy life for myself. A dress boutique of my own, a comfortable living, and friends I love. Then one night, my shop becomes a target, and it all goes up in flames.
Until the heir to the Chicago Bratva, a man I’ve met in passing once before, walks into the ruins and offers me a deal.
He needs a temporary bride. I need money. He hasn’t forgotten the dance we shared once, even if I’ve tried my best to. And he’s willing to help me, if I’m willing to play his game.
It’s not supposed to be real. But this man has tempted me from the moment we met, and from the moment we say I do, the flames between us burn as hot as the ones that destroyed my dreams. My world is lace and silk. His is blood and violence. But together? We might just make something beautiful.
