Blurb:

Caterina

As the only daughter of a formidable capo, my existence unfolded within the confines of a gilded cage. At eighteen, I would become a pawn in the intricate game of power, destined to be wed to a high-ranking member of my fatherโ€™s regime. My fate oscillated between my father’s grasp and that of my future husband. Fleeing was not an option; they would track me down relentlessly. In an act of both self-preservation and rebellion, I sought refuge in a local conventโ€”the sole sanctuary untouched by the shadows of the mafia. Yet, before I could take my final vows, the devil himself knocked at my door โ€” a devastatingly handsome blonde-haired, blue-eyed rogue. With an Irish accent that sent shivers down my spine, he declared me his future wife. No one had touched me; no one would. But despite my aversion to a forced marriage, an irresistible attraction brewed between usโ€” for he was both poison and wine.

Callum

When I abducted a nun, my expectations were simpleโ€”she’d be submissive, pliable, the ideal mafia wife. Little did I imagine that the fiery brunette would wield a mouth and body I craved, both in and out of the bedroom. She was a means to an endโ€”a marriage forged out of convenience, a strategic alliance with an enemy family to solidify our standing in the underworld. Tradition dictated that I claim her, yet the last thing I’d do is coerce her. She won’t be forced. I promised she would beg me to take her, and anyone who dared to touch her would die. For she was mine and mine alone.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“How can you possibly marry me off to a nun? Sheโ€™s married to God!โ€ I snarled.

Amusement twinkled in Seamusโ€™s blue eyes. โ€œSheโ€™s only a novice.โ€

โ€œSheโ€™s a nun.โ€

With a shake of his head, Seamus replied, โ€œShe hasnโ€™t taken final vows yet, so sheโ€™s only a novice.โ€

โ€œDoes that really make a fucking difference?โ€

โ€œFor our blackened souls, it does. The last thing we need on our conscience is kidnapping a full-fledged nun.โ€

A grunt of disgust came from Kellan. โ€œI would think kidnapping and forcing a woman into marriage is bad enough regardless of her religious status.โ€

Seamus chuckled darkly. โ€œIโ€™m aware Iโ€™m a fucking hypocrite to remain a practicing Catholic considering the line of work Iโ€™m in. But I do hold some things sacred. The fact that Caterina hasnโ€™t fully given herself over to the church makes this a little more palatable.โ€

โ€œIt sure as hell isnโ€™t palatable to me.โ€ I threw back the remaining whiskey in my glass.

โ€œMy future wife is a fucking nun!โ€

Extra Excerpt:

โ€œYouโ€™re mine, Kitten.โ€

Jerking my chin up, I countered, โ€œI belong to no man.โ€

Callumโ€™s hand came to grip my chin under my neck. โ€œYou. Are. Mine.โ€

When his expression turned over to smoldering lust, it sent a pulsing ache between my legs. Heat flared over my body under his scrutiny. While we stared into each otherโ€™s eyes, Callumโ€™s hands slid from my waist down to cup my ass.

At my gasp, he slammed his lips against mine. When he thrust his tongue into mouth, I moaned. As he continued his assault on my mouth, his hands pushed my center against the growing hardness in his pants. Gripping his shoulders, I held on for dear life.
