THE MAFIA KING'S SUBSTITUTE GROOM Lucian Laurent has spent his entire life being treated like an outsider in the family that adopted him. While Constantine Laurent's biological daughters enjoy wealth, privilege, and affection, Lucian is little more than an unwanted presence in their luxurious home. He has learned to keep his head down, his opinions to himself, and his expectations painfully low. But everything changes when the most feared mafia king in the city demands a bride from the Laurent family. Elias Lawrence is ruthless, powerful, and accustomed to getting what he wants. Before his death, his father made him promise to establish a business alliance with the Laurent family through marriage. Elias never wanted love from the arrangement. He only intended to fulfil his promise by marrying Vivienne Laurent, the family's eldest daughter. Unfortunately, Vivienne has other plans. Rather than become the wife of a man she fears, she runs away with the man she loves, leaving her family scrambling to save the alliance. Desperate to prevent the deal from collapsing, her younger sister, Evelyn, volunteers to take her place. Elias refuses. He has no interest in marrying Evelyn simply because Vivienne abandoned their agreement. If the Laurent family must provide a groom to secure the alliance, he will choose someone else. Someone nobody expected. Lucian. To Elias, blood relation is irrelevant. Constantine accepted Lucian as his son, making him a member of the family and an acceptable substitute for the abandoned bride. The marriage is a business decision, nothing more. Elias has no intention of falling in love with the man he has chosen. Lucian, meanwhile, is horrified. He knows nothing about the cold, intimidating mafia king who has suddenly claimed him as his future husband.
