This is a mafia suspense romance with a forced marriage, forced proximity, possessive alpha, suspense, and spicy. This is the love story of the second brother, Niccolò boxer, and a feisty Irish heroine set in the Borrelli Mafia series. It takes place in Paris and New York City. Trigger warning: Assault
Niccolò Borrelli joins his brother Matteo in New York City after the love of his life is murdered. He believes the Borrelli men are cursed because being associated with the Borrelli's means death to the women they love. He vows never to love again and returns to the dangerous world of underground boxing when duty calls. He sacrifices his future for the family and enters a forced marriage to the Irish princess, Siobhan.
Siobhan O'Donnell's life has been anything but that of a princess. She is the fiery-haired daughter of an Irish mobster whose thirst for retribution threatens to ignite a war. But what does he want from the Borrelli's? He's a man with an angle, and Siobhan finds herself trapped between her unhappy past and future with a stranger who takes her innocence and says he'll never love her.
Siobhan hears whispers of a brother lost to the shadows and steps into Niccolò's world of danger and deceit with defiance in her eyes and battle scars of her own. She loves her new husband and hopes that, in time, he will return her love. The two must stick together to foil her father's plan of vengeance when Niccolò is forced into a boxing match to protect her honor. Will Siobhan save her husband from an untimely end?
In a city that demands blood for blood, their unwanted bond will become their salvation or their downfall. In the heart of the mafia, love is the most dangerous game of all, and even the coldest hearts can burn in the flames of passion.
This is a Cinderella-esque story where Siobhan is repressed but breaks from her dark past. This romance is one of forced marriage, v1rgin bride, wounded MMC, breeder, worn-off love, vengeance, and redemption. It has plenty of spice and suspense. This continues Niccolò's introduction from book one.
Niccolò
I've been tossed into the abyss.
Light is snuffed out by my darkness.
The Borrelli curse prevents me from loving again.
If I marry Siobhan, there will be peace between the Italians and the Irish. My life is forfeited, so I agree.
