Novel Web Mafia & Cerita Possessive Age Gap Drama

At twenty, Aubrey Hale expected to be planning midterms. Instead, she's planning a wedding — to a stranger. Dante Vescari, the widowed underboss of Kansas City, needs a wife to keep his seat. He chooses Aubrey for one cold reason: marrying her puts her father — the family's trusted advisor — under his own roof, where Dante can watch him. Because Dante knows the secret that could burn the whole family down: Edmund Hale has been meeting a federal agent. What Dante doesn't know is that Aubrey already knows too. She followed her father to the courthouse. She saw the badge. She heard the deal. Now the girl with paint on her hands is marrying the most dangerous man in the city, hiding the secret that could hang her father — while the man she's marrying hides the very same secret, for a very different reason. Two liars. One house. Six weeks until the wedding. And someone is already setting fires to see which of them breaks first.

Gianna Moskal has one mission: escape her arranged marriage to the ruthless Mafia Don, Rafael Visconti Her solution? Find a stranger, get married and make herself unavailable. Easy enough, right? After a desperate proposal at a bar in Texas, a handsome stranger agrees to marry her. By midnight, she has a marriage certificate and a newfound freedom. Until she arrives at church the following morning, ready to announce her marriage, only to watch her husband threaten her father and her father apologized saying… “Godfather…”

She was never meant to find out. Twenty-three-year-old Velma Moretti has spent her entire life believing she is the cherished daughter of one of the most powerful mafia families in New York. Everything changes the night she overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. She isn’t a daughter, she’s a bargaining chip. To prevent a bloody war between rival syndicates, Velma is promised to Izaak Volkov — the feared heir of a Russian mafia empire known for brutality, violence, and absolute loyalty. Izaak wants nothing to do with a political marriage. Velma wants nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, neither of them gets a choice. Forced into a marriage designed to secure peace, they become trapped between two powerful criminal organizations, family betrayals, assassination attempts, and secrets capable of starting a war. The longer Velma remains at Izaak’s side, the more she discovers the monster the world fears isn’t the man she expected. But when a devastating secret from her past comes to light, both mafia empires are forced to choose: Protect the woman at the centre of the conflict or sacrifice her to keep the peace. The problem? Izaak Volkov has never been good at sharing what belongs to him. And he now considers Velma his.
