“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

My jaw dropped to the floor and my head snapped to Archie so fast that I got whiplash. His eyes were still on the phone screen, his brows furrowed and his jaw muscles clenched.


I had no idea what was going through his mind right now, but I could only guess he felt somewhat relieved. But then a sudden thought crossed my mind and I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing.


Unless that had happened under his order? I cursed myself almost immediately as I realized what I was assuming. Of course, Archie would never order something like that. He had the chance to kill Royce himself when he was inside our home after he had just attacked me. He would never do something like this now. Right?


The video ended and Archie handed the phone back to Sami, his gaze focused ahead, not looking at anyone or anything in particular.


“Archie?” I called, starting to worry.
