Mary Florence Pendleton never wanted power, wealth, or danger. All she ever wanted was a quiet life, a college degree, and a chance to help her struggling family. But everything collapses when her parents reveal a terrifying truth. Their family owes an enormous debt to Trenton Maxime Aldridge—the most powerful and feared mafia lord in the province. A man whispered about in fear. A man with no mercy. A man who never forgives betrayal. Instead of demanding money, Trenton demands something far more shocking: a bride. The marriage was meant for Mary’s beautiful and ambitious step-sister, Clementine Pendleton. But on the night the deal is meant to be sealed, Clementine disappears. With their reputation and lives hanging by a thread, Mary’s parents beg her to take Clementine’s place. Mary agrees—only to protect her family. She promises herself one thing: This marriage will only be temporary. She will endure Trenton’s cold world, search for Clementine, finish her studies, and eventually ask for divorce. But the deeper Mary is pulled into Trenton’s dangerous empire, the more she realizes something terrifying. The ruthless mafia lord everyone fears may not be as heartless as the world believes. And the closer they become, the more dangerous their growing feelings become. Because love inside a mafia empire is not just forbidden—it can destroy everything.

Lucia I'd lost my parents at a young age, been tossed from one abusive chaotic home to the other until I'd finally decided I couldn't take it anymore and had run away. Only running away had made it worse. **** I'd been stripped to almost nothing because of my stubbornness. My upper body was left uncovered and my breasts were on display, though that was the least of my problems. A tear escaped my eyes then and I watched it fall down to my chest and slide down my exposed breast. I turned to wipe my face with my arm but it barely worked. I was hot and sweaty. My eyes went back to the crowd and my gaze fell on someone sitting at the back. For a second, I forgot how my lungs worked. Bruno Inheriting a ruthless top mafia gang at a very young age did a lot of damage to someone. It certainly did a whole lot of damage to me. Fucked me up so bad I could no longer tell what was right from what was wrong. I didn't give a flying fuck what anyone thought about it. It was who I was now and there was no going back. At least that was what I'd thought. Seeing her up there, hands tied above her head as she waited for whatever asshole was going to buy her at the auction caused some kind of reaction in me. It was enough to tell me that I should probably let someone else buy her so she could be their problem. Unfortunately I'd never been one to stop myself from making a wrong decision. So I bought her anyway. And who would have guessed? She turned out to be the best decision I'd ever made.
