“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

As the doctor had told us, I was released the next morning. Archie asked Owen to pick us up and take us home. I was glad to be back in the manor, finding the comfort of my room the best place to recover.


Johnnie and Ruby were freaking out when I arrived, and they only felt reassured once I told them that I was fine and didn’t have a concussion or worse injuries. Ruby said she was going to prepare something for me and Archie to eat and take it to my room.


I told Archie I was going to take a hot bath, to relax and also wash myself. My hair was dirty and sticky from all the blood, and I was feeling gross from staying an entire day in the hospital without showering.


He asked if I needed any help, and I considered his offer, but I guessed he’d distract me more than efficiently help me. I politely refused it, so he told me he was going to check on Seth while I was in the bathroom instead, and then return to have breakfast with me.
