“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

I should have seen this coming. I knew better than that. Of course, Royce wouldn’t just show up and make an empty threat if he didn’t have a plan already in motion. I just didn’t think he’d be ambushing us at home.


How the f*ck did he find out where we lived?


Were any of us followed? Did we have someone else infiltrated who sold us out to the Lennoxs? No, that couldn’t be. I made sure we got every rat taken care of. 


But it didn’t matter now. That was a question I had no answers to, and even if I had, it wasn’t my biggest concern at the moment.


I took in my surroundings. Not only was the manor wrecked, but as we engaged in an exchange of shots and punches, I could see lots of men falling to the ground. 


It was hard to tell who was a friend or enemy, and I couldn’t be sure if they were dead or just hurt, but I also couldn’t stop to check on any of them.
