Declan by Joan Morven

Viviana Morelli
I’ve hated this life since I was a teenager. Being the middle daughter of Giovanni Morelli has been a nightmare—never good enough, always overlooked. So, I became everything he despised: fiery, combative, and untouchable in a world where men demand obedience. But my father struck a deal: one of his daughters in exchange for safety and power.
And the leader of the Irish Consortium, Declan Callaghan, chose me.

Declan Callaghan
After my fiancée died, I vowed never to love again. As the head of the Irish Consortium, I can’t afford the luxury of feelings. But when I made a deal with Giovanni Morelli, I knew I had to choose her.
Her defiance sparks something I can’t ignore. Her fire against everything I stand for is both refreshing and maddening. I have one goal: make her beg for me, to break her.
And one rule: never fall in love with her.

A dark, enemies-to-lovers romance full of passion, danger, and the undeniable pull of forbidden love. For fans of explosive chemistry, morally grey heroes, and heroines who won’t back down.
