The Devil's Bargain

By JEREMIAH BLACKWOOD

He owns the city. She owes him her life. A marriage forged in blood is the only way to survive.

Elena Rossi thought her father's gambling debts died with him. She was wrong. The moment she steps into the fortress of the Moretti estate, she realizes the ten million dollar debt has a new collector: Dante Moretti.

Dante is not just a mafia boss. He is a monster who rules Chicago's underworld with an iron fist. He offers Elena a cruel choice: marry him and erase the debt, or watch her brother rot in a prison cell.

Trapped in a gilded cage, Elena vows to survive. She will play the part of the obedient wife while plotting her escape. But Dante is not the monster she expected. Beneath the cold exterior lies a man haunted by a debt of his own to her father.

As the rival Volkov family closes in, threatening to burn the city to the ground, Elena and Dante are forced into a deadly alliance. Trust is a liability. Desire is a weapon. And in a world where love is the deadliest sin, surrendering to each other might be the only way to survive.

The Devil's Bargain is a steamy, high stakes dark mafia romance featuring a morally grey hero, a resilient heroine, and a forced marriage that turns into an obsession. Perfect for fans of Cora Reilly and Rina Kent.
