About this listen

Alliances are made. Loyalty is owned. Love is taken.

Little did I know my love and freedom would be taken to form a new alliance.

Brutal, possessive, and dangerous, Lucian is feared by all. Including myself. When his father is assassinated, Lucian takes his rightful place as head of the Cotroni family. They rule the Mafia with an iron fist, and he's set his sights on my family.

Until now, we've been the only threat, but when a new one emerges, my father is forced to arrange a marriage between Lucian and me.

He might be handsome but he's not the kind of man who loves. He takes what he wants and right now, it's my body.

I might belong to him in name, but the question remains—will our union be consummated in blood or love?

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new standalone, full-length arranged marriage mafia romance novel. Intended for mature listeners.

...there are some dark scenes in this book, more than in any other listen to in this series.

Lucien is actually a great character & you learn to really feel for him.

His love really tested my limit on how much she as inter monologue in her head - enough so that it takes away from the story.

This story has alot of up & downs but does give a good ending.

Hard to listen to....

I loved this book. I’m nervous about book 3 but I may skip to book 4 first. We will see. This was a great book.

Wow Michelle, that was one hell of a tense dark opening - and the physical and sexual abuse that follows seventeen yo Elena by her bodyguard is brutal too. A mother dead, a daughter unloved, kept a prisoner by her cruel uncaring Father and used as a bargaining chip for marriage. Elena dreams of one day being free.. and that chance comes four years later when she’s sent to neutral ground St Monarch’s Switzerland for her own safety. That’s where she’ll meet a feared, dangerous, handsome man that’ll have the strength and power to slay all her demons. Twenty-five yo Lucian is set to take over his father’s position as head of the Mafia and he was sent there to train in all the things he must know to take his place as Don. However, he will also be fascinated by a broken little bird who shows glimpses of strength and fire.. he’ll become protective and possessive.. and he’ll be disturbed by the fear she shows whenever he comes near. Quickly she becomes his obsession.. but their dangerous world hits hard, death follows, neutral ground becomes a battle ground and they will have to fight to survive. And the sweet and savoury.. and sometimes suspenseful story that follows is really enjoyable as Lucian’s kid gloves slowly come off when Elena learns that not all men in their brutal world are monsters.

Worth a credit? Apart from one TSTL move by the heroine 🤦🏻‍♀️, yes I loved the action, the characters, the plot (which wasn’t drowned out by too much sex), the romance and the blows delivered to very bad men. Gomez and Alyssa were absolutely brilliant at bringing the feels and the characters to life - and together they delivered five star perfection.

👉Trigger warning.. it had dark scenes, it had forced bj sexual abuse and it had abusive threats of rape.

ENJOYABLE.. but there should be trigger warnings

The beginning of the storyline was difficult to hear. It developed into a nice story.

Not your typical mafia book. Excellent story. Interwoven characters from other books in the series. Great narrations. I was hoping for a bit of a better final chapter.

Great love story that kept my attention. I enjoyed both main characters. It was an emotional story with just enough spice.

Loved it!

Loved this book!

My heart ached for Elena’s abuse in her own home. Elena’s demons were always haunting her. She was beaten, forced into sexual favors and promised to a man the age of her father.
She had one chance of escaping but would she see her opportunity?

Lucian was a monster on the outside. He was to be the next head of the mafia. His world was different than Elena’s; he had loving parents. Even after losing his mother, his father continued to show his son love and friendship. But, Lucian was fierce and showed no mercy to the outside world. Then, Elena comes into his circle…….

Would Lucian save Elena?

Would Elena let him save her or would her curse of marrying her older bodyguard be her fate?

The story keeps you wanting MORE!

The epilogue was worth the wait. Be prepared for a ride. Emotional pits in your stomach, frustration and twists. But, most of all is the bond between the men in this book and the women who surround them.

Men are the kings but behind every great ruler is a QUEEN who will raise the world!

Fiercely Addictive, Heart Racing & Overcoming the Brutal Monsters

✨Thoughts✨
The first half of the story paints a rather bleak picture for our FMC, Elena. Yet, as the story progresses, it shifts towards a brighter tone when she meets Lucian, the future head of the Cotroni family. Personally, I find it quite interesting, although I must admit that the narration lacks variation, making it somewhat challenging to establish a deep connection with the characters.

🔸All things considered, if you have a taste for dark mafia romance, this particular book might be worth your time.
