About this listen
I've always dreamed of romance, but this wedding is strictly business.
Sofiya
I've spent years hidden away to protect my father from the shame of having a defective daughter. The head of the Bratva can't be associated with weakness—and to him, that's all I am.
That is until a marriage alliance gives him the opportunity to finally be rid of me.
As I head down the aisle towards my mysterious husband, I hope I'm moving towards love and freedom. But Matteo makes it clear he wants nothing to do with me.
I wish I could return his coldness, but the dangerous Don sets my body ablaze whenever he's near.
Matteo
My life has been defined by betrayal.
A family traitor murdered my parents, and I've carried their blood on my hands all these years. I learned long ago not to open my heart.
As head of the Five Families, I've always controlled my city, but with enemies rising up on all sides, a marriage alliance is my only way forward. Except my bride is not what I expected—and now she's consuming my every thought.
When my trust is shattered again, I'll go to any means necessary to protect the Family.
His Tesoro is a spicy, dual first-person POV mafia romance with an age gap, arranged marriage, disabled heroine, and jealous/possessive hero. This book is a standalone that ends in a HEA. For mature listeners.

We follow Sofiya who has been hidden away by her father, abused and shamed due to her disability. Suddenly she is told she is being married off to Matteo to secure an alliance between the two mafia families. Our MMC trusts pretty much no one and carries his own trauma and guilt so to him this is a marriage for appearances only. He has no idea until seeing Sofiya in her wheelchair, bringing herself down the Isle, that she has medical issues.
These two characters were instantly likeable and written so incredibly well. The chronic illness rep is one of the best I have read down to the day to day, mental and even how it effects sex. Their relationship builds gradually no matter how hard Matteo fights it and his care for her is chefs kiss. Sofiya is strong, loving and resilient. Now this book is spicy, I hate it when I see ppl say no to chronic illness rep as it will be boring or sad! This is as spicy and kinky as any other mafia read but with extra depth and care that makes Sofiya feel so seen and desired.
The found family is so incredibly done, banter, amazing characters...pure perfection! The mafia side is not left out, plenty of action and a woman who is a better shot than her husband ;-) There are lies, betrayal, a moment that brings fury (me shouting you idiot lol), surprises and more. Not to mention a service dog that is beyond adorable.
The romance, found family, story and writing was amazing! As someone with chronic illness and pain Sofiya resonated and made me feel seen and Matteo is 🔥. New fave author added to my list!
Amazing!!!

It’s an arranged marriage (alliance marriage), age gap, disabled heroine & her jealous & possessive husband with an amazing found family too.
Sofiya is a bratva Princess married off to the mafia Don, Matteo for a business alliance by her cruel Pakan father.
Sofiya has had a cruel & cold life so far, Matteo is not interested in having a wife other than for the alliance it brings from his new wife’s father. He is cold & uninterested in Sofiya, until he gets to know her & sparks start to ignite that he try’s hard to fight.
The story has lots of ups & downs & had me hooked from start to finish.
It’s got me wanting to listen to books now as well as reading them.
My first audible book & I loved it!
