Brutal Legacy

An ex-special forces mafia underboss. The woman who broke his heart. And an arranged marriage that could destroy them both . . . A fiery enemies-to-lovers romance from the author of Unholy Vows

She's not my wife . . . she's my hostage.

Fourteen years ago, Georgia Bellisario ripped my heart out and left me for dead.

I should have died that day. Maybe I did.

The man I was—the one who loved, who felt—was buried in the dirt.

What remained was a body, a machine built for war and violence.

I was reforged in blood, remade into something ruthless.

Now, I am the sottocapo of a brutal mafia, the perfect weapon at my boss’s command.

Merciless. Heartless. Remorseless.

When the boss orders me to hunt down Georgia and drag her back across the country, I don’t hesitate.

Her name alone is a curse, a toxin that burns through my veins.

She’s still my obsession, my weakness—the poison that never left my system.

I was the perfect weapon, until my boss announces her engagement—to another man.

That’s when I decide: If Georgia Bellisario is destined for a wedding… it will be to me.
