Sacred Deception: A Marriage of Convenience, Mafia Dark-Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068440533)

She will do anything for power. He will do anything to have her.

Called Pretty Poison for her deadly charm, a mafia princess cannot seem to escape her past.

STUNNING. SEDUCTIVE. CRAZY.

FRANCESCA DeMONE, as ruthless of a Don as her father, has only ever wanted two things: money and power. With the entire Cosa Nostra against her high ranking in the mafia as a woman, she must prove herself - just until the title of Underboss is finally hers.

She is her father's most trusted confidant. His hand which holds the gun. His voice which gives the final command. His brain which directs every strategy. And she will walk through any fire if it means becoming Head of the Family.

What she didn't expect to have to endure, is marriage with the Devil himself.

CHARMING. LAID-BACK. INTIMIDATING.

MATTEO DI'ABLO, an ex-drug-lord, has had enough violence to last him five lifetimes. After re-building his family's empire from the ashes and passing the legacy onto his younger brother, he wants nothing more than to lay on a beach and relax.

But when a bullet misses his brother's heart by an inch, he is forced to take over the family business one last time - just until his brother recovers.

What he didn't expect to have to endure, is a forced alliance with the Italians in the face of threats. Or lay awake all night while his new bride sleeps across the hallway.

They agreed to divorce after a year.

Marriage was never part of the plan. Least of all falling in love.

At least for one of them.
