He has her, and he won’t let her go.

Brioni

When my stalker ex started threatening me again, my best friend made me a dangerous offer: marry him for one year, then as long as we leave things unconsummated, we can annul the marriage and both walk away.

His lethal mafia name will protect me from my ex, and having me on his arm would save him from an arranged marriage and buy him time to find the perfect mafia bride to help him run his family’s empire.

I’d always felt safe with Liam O’Sullivan, but as he drags me deeper into his dark world, I wonder if I have what it takes to survive in his brutal world.

I protect what’s mine, and that now includes her. Our deal was supposed to all be for show, to keep my best friend safe while I find my perfect submissive wife. But, now that I have her, I have no intention of letting her walk away.

Luckily, I know just how to tempt her to stay, and a year is a long time for her to resist me…
