From the USA Today Bestselling author of the Syndicate Rules series comes a dangerously seductive new chapter in mafia romance. Lucy Monroe turns up the heat with this story of mob intrigue and scorching passion.
In their world, mob marriages end in death---not divorce.
KARA
Falling in love with the man I was forced to marry was my first mistake. Letting that love die might be my salvation. Mick got everything in our arranged marriage. I got heartache---and Fitz, our son. He's the only bright spot in this cold, empty union.
I'm done playing the obedient mob wife. I'm going to ask my da---head of the Shaughnessy Mob---for a divorce. It won't go over well. But I'm my father's daughter, stubborn to the core, and more than ready to fight for my freedom.
Even if neither my husband nor my father sees it coming.
MICK
I keep my monster buried beneath layers of Irish charm, but it's always there---just beneath the surface. I've kept Kara at arm's length, convinced she deserved better than me. But when she's granted a separation, the monster wakes up...and nothing will ever be the same again.. I might feel soft for our son, but what I feel for Kara? It's darker. Fierce. Obsessive.
She thinks she can walk away. But Kara belongs to me. And I don't care who I have to cross---or bury---to make sure she stays.
Even if I have to kidnap my own wife to prove it.
