Marriage of Sin by Kristen Luciani

My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.

At forty, I’ve built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don’t do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.

Then my father takes a bullet and suddenly I’m running his world—the one I spent my whole life escaping. The price of survival? An arranged marriage to Lochlan Molloy, the son of a rival crime boss.

He’s twelve years younger. Cocky. Infuriating. Looks at me like I’m the only woman in any room.

I’ve spent my whole life keeping people out. Keeping myself cold. Protected.

He makes me want things I swore I’d never want. And I hate him for it.

I hate myself more for not being able to stop.

LOCHLAN

She thinks she’s made of ice. She’s wrong.

I see the fire underneath. The way she looks at me when she thinks I’m not watching. The way she melts when I touch her, even as she’s pushing me away.

I’ll break down every wall. I’ll burn the world for her. I’ll make her mine in every way that matters.

But I’m keeping a secret that could shatter everything.

And when she finds out I’ve been lying to her from the start?

Let her hate me. I’ll spend the rest of my life earning her back.
