“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 had just arrived home when I heard the door opening behind me. I turned on my heels to see Rosie strolling inside, her arm stained with blood, and being followed by Sienna.


“What the hell happened?” I urged, rushing to her side.


Rosie shook her head, dismissing me, but I didn’t care. “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.”


“It's not just a scratch. We were attacked and the guy almost stabbed her,” Sienna chimed in, her tone loud and nervous. “The knife grazed her arm, but she didn’t let me see it.”


What the f*ck was she talking about? Attacked? By who?


“F*ck! Are you alright?” I asked Rosie, but I looked at Sienna as well to make sure she didn’t need help.


“I'm fine, she protected me,” Sienna answered. I turned my attention to Rosie, who had dropped onto the couch, leaned her head against it, and closed her eyes.
