About this book

Taken on her wedding day. By a man as brutal as he was beautiful. Juliana I'd played kiss chase when I'd been younger, but never with the devil himself... Never did I dream that my big day would turn into a bloody wedding. Handsome, cruel, and ruthless, Marco Marchiano is the Capo of Chicago and is feared by all. He terrifies me with his darkness, confuses me with his tenderness...and devastates me with his touch. And with this man, I am forever falling. Because he says the truth isn't what I've been brought up to believe. But I say...he's the master manipulator. Marco Betrayed by a rival family, I don't hesitate to take my revenge. By taking their innocent Mafia daughter...the girl who'd flaunted her pureness and tantalized me with her guileless eyes. I never bargained, however, on her standing up to me. Nor her unbreakable bond with her family. But I will stop at nothing to make her submit to me. Because some say men should strive to serve in heaven. But I say...it's always much better to reign in hell. This is a romance featuring the Italian Mafia, a possessive antihero, chemistry, passion, and angst. A full length, standalone novel within the interconnecting Marchiano Mafia Series, with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
