“What did you say?”
“I said that if you won’t touch me and make me yours, then maybe someone should.”
To my surprise, Archie smirked at me and his gaze drifted to my lips.
“No one’s ever going to touch you but me, Rosie.”

Rosie Fay is the daughter of the mafia, so she is used to being surrounded by guns, sulky men, and dangerous deals. But her father thought she shouldn’t lead things after he was gone, so he made a deal and offered her hand in marriage to Archie Donovan.
The arranged marriage wasn’t the problem though—Archie was. He treated her well and took care of her, but that’s all their relationship entailed. No romantic strings attached. But they clearly liked each other, so why did he always push her away?
As the tension between them intensified, the dangers around the family increased. Was happiness even a possibility for them? Or would the mafia life take that away from her?

Daughter of the Mafia

The sun was still out when I left to return home. Ezra arrived with Maya and Carter, and I told Sienna I needed to get some rest before I went back to work the next day, so I played with the kids for a couple of minutes and left.


I still had a headache and I could use some time in my bed with a bowl of popcorn and a nice TV show. It had been a while since I had done that, and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the rest of my day.


The house was relatively quiet when I arrived, only a weak noise coming from the kitchen, which I assumed was caused by Ruby preparing dinner. I pondered going in there to tell her I’d order some junk food tonight, but I was too lazy to do it.


Whatever she had prepared, if I wasn’t in the mood for it, I could have it as lunch the next day. She and Johnnie also had to eat, and I wasn’t sure what Archie would do. I didn’t even know if he was home.
