THE CLAIMED OBSESSION: Married for Peace. Hunted for Revenge. (RUTHLESS OBSESSION SERIES)
She was handed to him by council decree. Everything after that, they chose.
Sable Reyes has spent six years being the person who doesn't flinch - Kai Voronin's second-in-command, the one who runs security and never lets anything soft get close enough to be used against her. Then the council decides the fragile peace between two crime families needs more than paper to hold it together.
It needs a marriage.
Matteo Aslanov never wanted his cousin's ruin to become his inheritance. Quiet, watchful, and years into proving the Aslanov name doesn't have to mean what it once meant, he's the one man both families actually trust - and the last thing he wants is a wife assigned to him like a business contract.
Neither of them chose this. Both of them decide to make it real anyway.
But peace this fragile has enemies. A grieving relative with a grudge and a stolen fortune. A splinter faction that sees mercy as weakness. And, waiting quietly beneath it all, an adversary patient enough to fund chaos and wealthy enough to never get their own hands dirty - one that's been destroying families like this one for generations.
Sable and Matteo will have to decide whether the vows they never asked for are worth defending with everything they have - including each other.
A dark, slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance with a fierce, guarded heroine, a quietly lethal hero, forced proximity turned freely chosen, and a fight to protect a peace worth more than either of them expected.
Content note: This book contains mature themes including organized crime and its violence, grief, and depictions of found family. Intended for adult readers.
