About this ebook

Jacob

My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.

I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.

Brenna

My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again, I’m bound by duty.

I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me.

He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?

What a great start to a brand new series but this author. The action, suspense, danger, and darkness pulled me in. Brenna and Jacob kept me reading. Their attraction and chemistry is palpable, even if they didn't want the marriage and try to deny it. I am hooked.

This story better than I thought it would be ,I thought I was just another arranged loveless marriage but I was wrong and I'm that I, kept on reading which in fact I couldn't put it down till finished. Brianna stood up for self and did not even give up when she was kidnapped. Jacob was completely different than I thought he was,he showed love ,compassion, that most arrange marriages don't! GREAT AUTHOR, Icant wait for the next one.

Trigger warning! Violence agaist men and women. First time reader. It won't be my last! I must have more. The main characters and backstory are well developed with heat and spice.
