Matteo

From New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Clarissa Wild comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel. To save my mother after she falls dangerously ill, I'm forced into a marriage with Lucio Agostini, a corrupt and malicious Mafia lord set on making me his bride. Lucio's only interest is to acquire my estranged father's wealth, and I have no choice if I want my mother to live. But Lucio's plans to marry me are thwarted when a rival Mafia family crashes our wedding right before we exchange vows. My hand in marriage is stolen, and the ring is put around my finger by none other than Matteo De Silva, sworn enemy of Lucio Agostini. He's callous, headstrong, and dangerous. In a stubborn quest to avenge his mother, he snatches me at my wedding to use me as a pawn in a devious game. He whisks me away to his mansion, which is nothing more than a luxurious prison for his newlywed wife. His obsession with destroying Lucio is all that matters to him, even if it costs me my freedom. But I refuse to become collateral. Underneath all that rugged bravado is a wounded man who longs for affection, and I will use his attraction to me against him. However, my past is laced in despair, and my secrets consume me from the inside out. When everything feels lost, Matteo's arms offer solace, and his touch calms my mind and sets my senses ablaze. His wicked charms slowly creep their way into my heart until it's no longer possible for me to deny the growing passion between us. We both want what the other isn't willing to give. A sinful, dirty fight for control is all that's left. The only question is ... how far are we willing to go? From the Author of Sick Boys, MATTEO is an exciting new standalone spicy romance, featuring your favorite tropes: * Mafia Romance * Stolen hand in Marriage * Enemies to Lovers * Forced Proximity * Revenge Plot * Slow Burn * Age Gap * "Who Did this to you?" * Billionaire Hero * He falls first * "Where is my Wife?!" Vibes * No Cheating

In my world, marriage is a transaction between two families. Nothing more. So, when the head of the Mancini crime family approaches me with an offer to marry his daughter in exchange for what I need to destroy my enemy, I accept. But when a woman I've never heard of shows up on the contract, questions arise. If forcing her hand in marriage is what it takes to get what I want, then so be it. A wife was never meant to be anything more than a business transaction. A means to an end. She might be easy on the eyes, a pretty little brunette with curves I want to sink myself into, but her sharp tongue and even sharper attitude may just be my undoing. I make it a point to know everyone I need to know in this world, so that begs the question-who the hell is this woman? Matteo is a dual POV mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and open-door spice.
