Corrupt Kingdom

Aiden O’Reilly is a monster in a tailored suit. A beautiful villain who ruthlessly crushes his enemies. And my father made the mistake of crossing him. Now I’m being forced into an arranged marriage with the man who once stole my heart and broke it. But even though I have to wear his ring and share his bed, I vow not to let myself fall for him again. It doesn’t matter that his touch inflames a dark desire inside me that craves only him. It doesn’t matter that memories of the past keep infecting our present. It doesn’t matter that he looks at me as if no other woman exists.

As the daughter of a ruthless mafia don, I’ve been treated as a pawn all my life. So when the man my father married me off to is killed, I see a chance for freedom, and I take it. I run. But I don’t get far before he finds me. Connor O’Reilly. Tattooed, scarred, and brutally handsome, he’s everything I shouldn’t want. He’s everything I should hate, especially when he locks me in a gilded cage and vows to make me his bride. I know he only wants me for the mafia empire I inherited from my first husband. I know our marriage will be a lie. It has to be a lie.

With my mother’s medical bills piling up and no other way to pay for her care, I did a stupid thing. I borrowed money from a ruthless criminal whose name I don’t even know. When he comes looking for repayment and discovers that I don’t have what I owe him, he offers me a bargain. He’ll clear my debt if I do him a favor.
