Wicked Rivals

By Kelliann Nelson

A young mafia boss must choose between an arranged marriage to save his empire and a past love to save her life. Will he risk it all for the sassy little barista who has been lying to him all along?

He's my past, my villain, my future. He would punish me if he knew the truth.

I never should have gone on that date with Stefano--or slept with him--but he wouldn't take no for an answer. It was all just a fairy tale that had to end, so when I realized I had feelings for this man, I sent back his gifts and cut ties. I thought I could be free to live a normal life. I believed I could hide our baby from him. I was wrong. None of my secrets were safe.

Now Stefano plans to punish me for every minute he missed with his son. God help me, it's a debt I want to pay, because a dark, fiery attraction still burns between us. But first he must make a deal with the devil to save my life and protect our son--and he must make me his wife. The catch? He's already promised to another bride.

Backing out of his arranged marriage contract is not an option. New York would become a bloody war zone. And I would only be trading one monster for another.

Wicked Rivals is a fast-paced dark romance with spicy enemies-to-lovers vibes. The story continues in book 2, Savage Enemy. Some scenes or themes may not be for sensitive readers. Please visit the author's website for more info.
