“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 stared at Archie’s empty side of bed for what felt like hours. Judging from the way the sheet was impeccably neat and immaculate, I would bet he didn’t sleep in our bed.


I didn’t know how to feel about it. I knew it wasn’t unusual for couples to have a fight and sleep in separate beds, but still, this was new for us, and I was struggling to deal with it.


When I finally decided to move on with my day and do something productive, I tossed the sheet aside and headed to the bathroom to take a shower before going to work.


At least there, I would be able to keep my mind occupied and not worry about the outcome of our argument and what our marriage would become.


I wasn’t going to apologize to him for barging into his meeting. I was feeling a bit regretful, yes, but I was too stubborn and proud to just admit I was wrong when the only thing I had done wrong was to show up unannounced.
