Bought By Mafia Daddies by Lisa Cullen

I was sold on Valentine’s Day.

Silk dress. Diamond lights.

A room full of predators.

My estranged father called it an opportunity.

I called it survival.

The bidding started at twenty-five thousand.

It didn’t stop until it hit three million.

One strike of the gavel.

And I belonged to them.

Jonathan Butera — heir to Chicago’s most powerful crime family.

Commanding. Untouchable. Used to obedience.

Alexei Antonov — ice in his veins and danger in his smile.

A man who never asks twice.

Devin Lay — street-born, wickedly charming,

and the only one who looks at me like I’m something precious instead of purchased.

They weren’t even supposed to be bidding on me.

But when the smoke cleared, I was theirs.

They tell me I’m safe now.

That no one will ever hurt me.

That powerful men protect what they claim.

They call me angel.

Good girl.

Valentine.

And I should have run.

Because I didn’t know the truth.

I didn’t know my father is their enemy.

I didn’t know I was the opening move in a mafia war.

And I definitely didn’t know that one reckless night would leave me carrying a secret that could destroy them all.
