CORA
I’ve done everything in my power to cut ties with my mafia family. I moved from Boston to Chicago, changed my name, and started making my own money. Now, they’re forcing me back into the fold with blackmail and a demand I can’t refuse.
My brother double-crossed the Chicago O’Sullivans, and the only way to keep him safe is to give them what they want: a wife for their dangerously attractive son. I’ll do anything to protect my brother, but I never agreed to do it quietly.
BRADY
I’m used to bending the world to my will, but war is coming and to keep my family safe I need allies. The easiest way to get them? Taking a bride from a rival family.
Cora Muloney should have been the perfect choice: she was raised in the mafia life so I expected her to be meek, obedient and ready to submit. I was wrong … but I never could resist a challenge. She’s trouble in a very pretty package, and she’s all mine.
