“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

When we finally left the restaurant, it was already late in the morning. I was dying to head to the beach, but spending some time with the Donovans was way more pleasant than I had expected, so I didn’t even notice the time passing.


Only when one of Logan’s guests came looking for him, we realized it was time to disperse and go enjoy the sunny day.


There was so much to do that I took a minute to think about where I was going to go first. I wanted to benefit from everything the resort had to offer, but the beach ended up winning. That crystal clear blue water and the warm sun were calling me.


After Logan left the restaurant, the rest of us headed outside, and Liam told us he’d go to the golf club and that he’d meet us later in the day. He asked Archie if he wanted to go with him, but Archie said he was a bit out of shape to play golf, and so he’d pass.
