“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

Watching the Holian brothers standing in front of us didn’t scare me as much as I thought it would. True, they had stepped out of the boat surrounded by so many men I could barely keep track of them, but I was confident we outnumbered them. Considering the hidden agents from the FBI, of course.


Archie had a lot of men under his watch, but not everyone was in plain sight since we thought the Irish might think we were inviting them to a battlefield.


Which, honestly, we were. In a way. I knew things were likely to go wrong as soon as the FBI made their appearance. I knew the risks, I had come prepared, but I wasn’t expecting to draw their attention in an unwanted way.


I could feel Archie’s aura change drastically as he noticed the way the brothers were looking at me. I wasn’t comfortable either, but I was kind of used to men looking at me as if I were some sort of meal.
