The Capo’s Yuletide Bride by Brooke Summers

I never wanted to be a pawn in my father’s world, but when he arranged my marriage to Cesare Mariano, the head of the Italian Mafia with the Boston Elite Syndicate, I had no choice.

Three weeks later, I’m now his wife, bound to the cold, ruthless Capo who looks at me like I’m nothing more than a contract he was forced to sign.
Needless to say, I’m not happy at all. I may have been born into this life, but I refuse to be another pawn in a man’s world. I tell myself I won’t break, that I’ll endure whatever this marriage brings, until I start seeing cracks in Cesare’s icy control. And worse, he starts seeing the cracks in me.
He wasn’t supposed to care. He wasn’t supposed to look too closely. But when he discovers the truth about my past, all hell breaks loose.
Now, I don’t just have to survive this marriage—I have to survive him.
I refuse to admit I crave his protection. If I do, I may never escape the fire raging between us.
