A Broken Mercy: A Ruthless Husband, a Forced Union, and the Wife Who Wouldn't Break

He married her to end a war. He never planned to fall in love with the woman he was supposed to control.

Elena Petrova is the price of a truce she never agreed to - handed over in marriage to end a blood feud between her father's Bratva empire and the Cassano crime family of Chicago. She has one rule: survive it, and keep the rest of herself locked away where no one can touch it.

Adrian Cassano doesn't do soft. He buried the last person he loved eight years ago and rebuilt himself into a man who can't afford to need anyone - least of all a wife chosen for him by two dying empires.

But Elena isn't the quiet, obedient bride he expected. And the closer she gets, the more he realizes someone inside his own house is hiding a secret dangerous enough to burn both their families to the ground.

When the danger stops being business and starts being personal, Adrian will have to choose between the control that's kept him alive for eight years - and the one woman who's finally made him want to feel something again.

A dark, addictive standalone slow-burn mafia romance of forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a love neither of them saw coming - with a guaranteed happily ever after.
