“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

My fist hit the wall as soon as I burst into my room and slammed the door behind me. How could I be so stupid? Like a f*cking teenager who couldn’t keep his hands to himself? How come I fell for Rosie’s charms after almost three years of doing a hell of a good job?


What the hell was wrong with me lately? Why was I losing control so easily around her? Why was Rosie acting so differently all of a sudden?


As my mind burned with a bunch of questions I had no answers to, I rushed to the corner of my room where I kept some bottles of bourbon and poured myself a glass, chugging it in one go. I felt the liquid burn my throat and chest, but was immediately replaced by a satisfying sensation.


Maybe if I drank myself to sleep, I wouldn’t think about Rosie. And how good she felt. Or tasted.


Holy sh*t. My fingers could still feel her wet, just for me. Because that’s what it was, right? I caused that reaction in her body.
