“What did you say?”
“I said that if you won’t touch me and make me yours, then maybe someone should.”

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?

He was already medicated, so he didn’t seem to be in that much pain, but still, I touched him as gently as possible. I saw Archie leaving the infirmary from my peripheral vision, followed by Tyler and Sami. But I was too focused on my task to ask what else was happening.
