“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.

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

Or maybe I was wrong. I could be wrong, right? With the life I had, it was a fair mistake to be made. I could just be over my head.


I looked at the mirror one more time, trying to identify the car. Maybe Archie sent someone to watch me for safety since he knew I was against having a bodyguard on my tail 24/7 which was a decision I was starting to regret now.


But Archie would never do that behind my back. And I didn’t recognize the car. It wasn’t one of ours. I was just desperate to find another explanation for what I already knew was happening. 


I felt my hands sweating on the steering wheel, but I tightened my grip around it, making sure I didn’t freak out and lose control of the car.


I pondered what to do. If I changed my destination, I could maybe confuse whoever was following me and get them off my tail. I wasn’t a professional driver, but I had somewhat good driving skills.
