“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

Saying goodbye to Logan and Liam the next day was sadder than I was expecting. Archie and I had spent the previous day enjoying the resort and spending some quality time with them since we didn’t know when we’d see each other again.


Liam promised he’d try to find some time to visit us in New York, and I said I’d make sure Archie and I visited him in Italy in the near future. Logan kept reminding us about his upcoming collection in December and asked if we could spend Christmas together, which I loved the idea.


For the past two years, the holidays had been nothing but a reminder that my father wasn’t around anymore. He loved Christmas and he always liked to spend it with everyone in our manor—all his men and their families were invited. 


I missed having that. I missed our home being a place where people could feel comfortable and safe. So, before we headed to the airport and back to our lives in NYC, I told him that I’d be delighted to organize everything.
