She bought his debt. He stole her freedom. Now they have to survive the merger.
Miriam Hale isn't a victim. She's The Vulture-a ruthless Private Equity CEO who guts distressed companies for sport. When she targets Vincetti Shipping, she expects a hostile takeover. She doesn't expect the owner to take it personally.
Dante Vincetti is the reluctant heir to the city's most dangerous crime family. Trying to legitimize his empire, he sees Miriam's acquisition as a declaration of war. His response? Kidnap the CEO to force a negotiation.
He thought locking her in his penthouse would break her. He was wrong.
From inside her gilded cage, Miriam doesn't scream for help-she declares war. Using a burner phone and a brilliant mind for numbers, she financially dismantles Dante's empire from the guest bedroom, freezing his assets and bringing the mafia prince to his knees.
But when a common enemy threatens to burn them both to the ground, the only way out is a merger of the most permanent kind: Marriage.
Bound by a contract written in blood and ink, Dante and Miriam must navigate a union where the boardroom battles are vicious, the bedroom politics are explosive, and the only rule is survival.
Hostile Ties is a high-octane, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance featuring a heroine who saves herself and a hero who would burn the world down to keep her.
