Amy Tan Net Worth

When she returned to the room, he was waiting. Handcuffs in hand. Eyes full of something dangerous. “You’ve been a bad girl,” Leonardo said, voice low and controlled. “Now you’ll take your punishment.” Arya was forced into a marriage she never wanted—to Leonardo Marcello, a man with a reputation built on blood, fear, and absolute power. Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. But the moment he saw her, something shifted. For him, it was already too late. Arya is everything he never expected—soft where he’s hard, light where he’s all shadow. And the more she tries to keep her distance, the more he pulls her into his dark world. It starts with stolen glances. Then with unspoken promises. And before she can stop it, the man she was forced to marry becomes the one man her heart begins to crave. But their world is brutal. And love? In the mafia, it’s the greatest risk of all. Will the reluctant mafia bride surrender to the man who’s already claimed her soul? Or will the world they live in rip them apart before she ever gets the chance?

A growl escaped his throat as my robe fell and pooled at my feet. I was completely naked. I saw his eyes dilating. He wanted me. That was all that mattered. A seductive smile curled on my lips, hiding the nervousness I felt. "I'm all yours, Alpha..." "Get dressed! And get out!" His breathing hitched as his gaze swept all over my naked form. I walked towards him, biting my lower lip as I reached for his shirt, unbuttoning it while ignoring his anger. He would have pushed me away if he didn't want this, but instead, he moved swiftly and pinned me against the wall. "Is this what you want?" His said hoarsely. His breath brushed against my neck, sending pleasurable tingles between my thighs as he pressed his front against mine. I stared back at him, letting my eyes show the emotions I had kept hidden all these years.
