“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 subconscious helped me find my way back to my room because I wasn’t paying the slightest attention to where I was going. I bumped into someone from the staff on my way out and blindly apologized, not once stopping to look back.


I could still hear Archie’s voice behind me, but for some reason, he didn’t catch me. Not until we got to our room. I stomped inside, glad that I had my key card with me. It’d be a bit embarrassing to wait for him to open the door for me.


The door didn’t slam behind me though, so I assumed Archie had finally reached me. I headed to the balcony, taking a deep breath and taking in the sea breeze. I thought that’d help to calm me down, but it didn’t. 


“Rosie, come on, you know she’s lying. I never—”


“I don’t want to hear it,” I grumbled, crossing my arms in front of my chest and finally turning to look at him, stepping inside the room.
