From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new standalone, full-length mafia romance novel.

I entered an arranged marriage so my sister, Ciara, could marry for love. Three years later, I'm a widow, and my father arranges for Ciara to marry Dominik Varga. The assassin slash arms dealer is as dangerous as he's quiet, which is very unnerving.

Needless to say, I'm not happy at all. A deal was a deal, and I kept my end of it, so there's no way on God's green earth I'll just sit back and smile like a good little girl. I'll fight for Ciara's freedom so she won't have to face the hell I was forced to endure.

But Dominik doesn't make things easy for me. He's determined to get his hands on half of Dad's empire.

When he moves into my family home, my entire routine unravels. I have to fight for more than just my sister's freedom because I'm in danger of losing my heart.

I refuse to admit I'm drawn to his darkness. If I do, God only knows whether we'll survive the fire raging between us.

Each book in the Mafia Empire series is interconnected but about a different couple who will all find their HEA.

Narrated in duet style.

This book really suprised me. I found it for free in catalogue and I really liked the story, it is healing journey for our FMC with mafia background. Healing journey was very beliavable and our MMC was paitient and understanding with touch her and ☠️ vibe. Perfect for me. Their romance had chemistry and they were perfect for each other. What was funny for me was the fact that MMC was Slovakian and as Czech (our languages are very similiar) I had to laugh to some words how he pronounced them😀🤣

Suprisingly very good mafia read

I really enjoyed it. It was fun, and the side characters were really interesting! I'm really looking forward to reading Santiago's book!
I was a little disappointed with the sister—what an excuse for a person! I'm sure she'll have a sad story in the future, but, to be honest, she behaved so ungratefully toward Grace that she doesn't deserve any sympathy. So I'll probably skip her book.
This story is similar to any of Michelle's other books, so there aren't many surprises. But that's not a bad thing if you like her writing and her books. We have a new group of men in an "alliance," so we have "new" stories to discover.

I'm excited to continue this journey!
