“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 argument with Rosie was the stupidest thing I ever allowed to happen within our marriage.


Rosie was constantly pushing and annoying me, but as soon as I indulged her yesterday, I knew I had made the wrong decision.


Things escalated so quickly that I was a bit lost for a moment. I shouldn’t have argued with her. We shouldn’t have talked about things that were sensitive and hurtful to both of us.


Worst of all, I shouldn’t have let her think I was worried about her stealing my position. I never meant for it to sound that way. I was just trying to keep my leadership, knowing this was important to keep the gears turning within our gang.


Honestly, it was ridiculous and unnecessary. But it somehow made me angry beyond control—at her, at myself, at our situation. It felt like we could never catch a break from trouble. There was always something in the way of our happiness.
