Bride By Coronation by Maggie Cole

The continuation of International bestselling author Maggie Cole’s highly-received secret society, drenched in dark undertones, next-generation Mafia series about two enemy lovers never meant to be together until one action catapulted their arranged marriage. Now, Fiona O’Malley and Kirill Petrov will have to let go of their preconceived notions, emotional scars, and everything they knew to be true about themselves.

My brother arranged for me to marry a stranger, one marked with a diagonal scar across his face and a tattoo necklace on his hand.
Neither disgusts me. They also aren’t what scares me.
Kirill Petrov’s a sworn enemy of our family and King of the Underworld. A towering man with darkness in his gaze, an unspoken promise of what he’ll do to me, and something so deep in his expression it hurts my heart.
Yet the blaze of his allure only grows hotter, singing, until I can’t resist him any longer… until I’m his Queen wearing his necklace night after night, staring at the beast inside his soul.
If I could, I’d kill that beast until the world saw my husband as the man I see—the man I love.
Except I give him my heart before I learn the full truth. And once you see the unforgettable, how can you go back? How can you forgive your husband for sins that aren’t his, yet he’s tied to? Especially when the people you love got hurt in the most vile of ways?
