SHATTER: A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

By SABINE ROOK

NIKOLAI

They call me Frost. After I've walked through a room, what's left doesn't move again.

I buried the only woman I ever loved one winter, seven years ago. I've been ice ever since. It's what makes me useful. It's all I have left to give the men who own me.

Then my uncle handed me an order. Marry the Marchetti girl. Seal the peace. Watch her.

She counts roses when she's afraid. She looks at me like there's still a man worth saving under the monster.

She's wrong about me.

But I'll burn this whole city down before I let anyone prove it to her.

SIENNA

My whole life they kept me clean. Sheltered. The daughter you protect from the truth.

I never wanted a husband bought with blood. Least of all him. The killer with winter in his eyes, the man my sister begged me never to go near.

So why, when he finally touches me, do I feel real for the first time in my life?

They gave me to a monster to buy their peace.

They should have asked what would happen if the monster decided to keep me.

They didn't make him. They emptied him.

And I've spent my whole life learning how to bring ruined things back.
