A dark mafia romance with forbidden heat, forced marriage, and an obsession that burns
He’s her sister’s husband. Now he says she belongs to him.
Lucy Fairchild has nothing left—no money, no support, no future. Then he shows up.
Damien Reed: the man who once saved her. The man who once married her sister.
He’s richer.
Colder.
And far more dangerous than she remembers.
When he offers her a way out, it sounds like salvation—until she realizes the price.
A forced marriage.
No escape.
And a man who doesn’t ask. He takes.
He needs a bride. She needs a lifeline.
But this isn’t a love story. It’s a transaction.
One with rules—secrets—and consequences she can’t begin to understand.
But every look burns.
Every touch erases her resistance.
And the deeper she falls, the more dangerous he becomes.
She was supposed to be a pawn.
Now she’s his obsession.
And a man who’s willing to burn the world for you… might just burn you with it.
