The Gilded Cage: A Stolen Bride Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance

By Linda K. Gibson

Elena

I thought I was walking my cousin down the aisle,

But the altar was waiting for me...

If I'd known the brooding, lethal stranger in the study was my future husband,

I probably would have turned and ran.

My own father sold me out, trading my hand to Silas Moretti,

A man twice my age and twenty times as dangerous.

The last thing I want to do is be a trophy wife to a monster,

But nobody says no to the Moretti Empire.

My father's been treating me like a vintage wine for years,

I won't let a King lock me in a cellar too.

I want to hate Silas and the blood he stands for,

But the more he protects me, the harder I fall.

To him, this marriage was just a "stolen" piece of business.

I was a means to an end...

Until the bullets started flying and I became his only sanctuary.

Silas

It's supposed to be a strategic reclamation,

A marriage to fix a mistake and secure a legacy.

I expect my bride to be silent, to stay in her gilded cage.

Instead, I get a firecracker who is determined to burn my world down.

I have no interest in falling for a girl half my age,

But before I know it, Elena is the only thing keeping me human.

Suddenly, I'm doubting every wall I've built around my heart...

When the secrets of the past come for us,

I have to decide if I'll destroy her for the truth-

Or burn the whole city to keep her mine.

The Gilded Cage is a captivating, unhinged Mafia romance featuring a stolen bride, an age-gap arranged marriage, and the kind of possessive tension that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The twists, turns, and dark secrets of the Moretti family will leave you breathless. This book is the pulse-pounding first installment in the Moretti Empire Series, promising an addictive ride with no cheating and a guaranteed, hard-earned Happily Ever After
