Arranged: An Age Gap Enemies-to-Lovers Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance

When it came to Mia Carfano, all it took was a single look and I was done. Gone. Obsessed. And no matter what I had to do, she was going to be mine... I was going to start living my life for myself for once, but he had other plans. Santino Antonucci. My family needs to make a deal with his, and as the head of the Antonucci family, the only way Santino will agree to help is if I marry him. I've never met him. I don't even know what he looks like. All I know is that he's fourteen years older than me, he was supposed to marry my cousin last year, and after he saw me at another cousin's wedding a few months ago, he decided he had to have me. If he thinks I'm flattered by that, I'm not. I'm only marrying Santino because my family needs this deal with him to go through, and just because I'm agreeing to the marriage, it doesn't mean I'm agreeing to give him any part of me. Santino Antonucci is an arrogant a**hole who thinks he can have me simply because he wants me, but he'll soon learn I'm not someone he can easily manipulate. But then a mistaken encounter leaves us both wanting more, and while he says he won't touch me again until I beg him to, from the moment we say 'I do', he's the one that's doing all the begging. And I have to admit, I like seeing him on his knees. I went into this arrangement with a plan. With rules. But Santino wasn't a man I could've prepared for. I thought when he slid that ring on my finger it'd be a prison sentence and I'd spend the next few years finding every which way to escape. But with each day that passes, I find myself losing my will to break free from the life we're creating together. Of course, so long as the enemy lurking in the shadows doesn't rip my new life from me before I have the chance to finally be happy.
