“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?

“Are you not going to tell me why you’re covered in blood and drunk as hell?” I tried again, studying Archie carefully. He didn’t look wounded or bruised—truth be told, the blood didn’t even seem to be his.


I guessed I was more pissed at seeing him drunk and unaware of my annoyance, but I decided to be a bit more cool about it. It wouldn’t help to snap at him right now.


So, instead of waiting for him to give me an answer, I just grabbed him by the hand and seated him on the couch before I headed to the bathroom to grab a first aid kit.


As I sat in front of him and started to clean his fingers and arms, I could feel Archie’s gaze on my face, observing me. 


“How was your day today?” he asked in a failing attempt to engage in a conversation with me. If he knew any better, he’d have stayed quiet and pretended I wasn’t even here.
