“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 soon as I got home that night, the serious and quiet atmosphere instantly put me on edge. I could hear distant chattering coming from Archie’s office downstairs, and for some reason, I could tell they were discussing something important.


Not that they weren’t always dealing with important stuff, but it wasn’t unusual to find them laughing too. 


I had a hint that this might have to do with Archie's meeting with the FBI executive. He told me he was going to meet her and negotiate the terms of their deal tonight, so I was almost certain that’s what was going on.


Dropping my purse on the couch, I headed to the stairs, my curiosity getting the best of me. Truth be told, I had been contemplating the idea of being more involved in the family’s affairs ever since the invasion of the manor.
