I've spent twelve years plotting his murder. Marrying him wasn't part of the plan. Torin Murphy pulled me from the flames that consumed my family when I was only ten years old. The Irish assassin with midnight blue eyes stole everything I loved. So I've built my entire life around one goal: making him pay. But now there's a hit on my head, and the only way to survive is a blood marriage to the man I've sworn to destroy. He thinks he's my savior. But I know what I saw...death and destruction in his wake, my parents' blood on his hands. Now I'm trapped in his world, bound by mafia law to a man who makes my body burn with unwanted desire. The ruthless head of a powerful crime family who kills without mercy, but touches me like I'm precious. He sees through my hatred. He knows exactly how to break down my defenses with his dark games. The way he looks at me, like he wants to equally cherish and dominate me, makes me forget I'm supposed to hate him. But the deeper I fall into his dangerous world, the more the truth about that night threatens to surface. And when ghosts from his past come looking for me, I'll have to choose between the revenge that's defined me and the man who might be my salvation. I wasn't supposed to end up in his bed. I wasn't supposed to fall for my enemy. And I definitely wasn't supposed to discover that everything I believed was a lie. A standalone dark mafia romance featuring an Irish alpha hero, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, and an HEA worth fighting for.
