USA Today Bestselling Author Shain Rose delivers a standalone arranged marriage romance where a grumpy mafia boss will wed a free-spirited surf girl and make sparks fly.
I’m signing over my hand in marriage for six months to save my city.
That’s it.
It should be easy, except Sebastian Armanelli is my sordid one-night fling turned husband. And I’ve just found out he’s the head of the Italian Mob too.
Bastian swears he’s set on reforming the mafia though. They’re accommodating when they used to be murderous. And he’ll be amicable instead of vicious.
Plus, he agrees that it’s only six months in public. In the dark of a private night, we can do as we please. Yet, I know just how he tastes and where each one of his hidden tattoos are. I know Bastian shapeshifts as that gentleman mobster, but in the dark, he’s commanding, ruthless, unyielding.
And possessive.
He refuses to share what he’s claimed as his.
And I’m realizing that includes me–
His lawfully wedded wife.

EXCERPT
“We get married tomorrow.” He threw his suit jacket on a hook and loosened his tie as we walked into the penthouse. His voice made me jump, we’d been silent for so long.
He moved quickly, slipping his shoes off and not making eye contact with me at all.
“Bastian?” When he didn’t look my way and started down the hall to his room, I yelled, “Bastian, what the hell?”
“What the hell?” He whirled around, molten hot rage brewing in his gaze, singeing me as he approached. He got right up to my face and he grabbed my hair at the nape of my neck. “I said, we get married tomorrow. You and me. My fiancée. Tomorrow, you’ll be my wife. Do you understand?”
I searched his eyes. “You have the audacity to be like this? Mad and all pissy?”
His jaw ticked.
“You have the audacity when you had that woman on your arm whispering things to you all night. You laughed at her jokes. You nestled into her neck. I saw you. And you even said she knew what she was doing before you fucked me.” I poked his shoulder as the grip in my hair got tighter and tighter.
“None of that matters, ragazza. We marry tomorrow and that means you’re not spreading your legs for anyone after that.”
We both stood there breathing fast, stewing, our furious gazes locked on one another. If I’d lit a candle, it would have been blown out by our anger and jealousy flying through the room.
“All about what you own, huh? Am I your property now?” I didn’t give him time to answer. “Fuck you, Sebastian Armanelli.”
This is the first book by Shain I have read. I really
enjoyed this book. There is lust, instant attraction, danger, angst and more.
This book is an arranged marriage book. Morina runs a smoothie truck, surfs,
and lives with her grandmother who raised her. Now her grandmother is nearing
the end of her life and things are being uncovered that Morina knew nothing
about. Morina meets a man and has a one-night stand. Now that one night stand
is back in her life. Sebastian has spent a good deal of his life cleaning up
his father’s mess. He has one deal left and then he can start living his own
life. Things get a little more complicated when the last deal he needs to make
involves the girl he had a one-night stand with and can’t get out of his head.
Then things take another turn when Morina’s grandmother is the one he needs to
make a deal with. Morina’s grandmother dies and has the last say when she puts the
deal in her will and Morina and Sebastian need to get married for the deal to
work. Morina has so much to deal with. She never knew her grandmother was
involved in the things she was. Now she must grieve and come to turns with
everything she learned. Then there is the attraction she feels to Sebastian. This
book was funny and hot. I love these characters and I would love to read more
about them. Morina and Sebastian are fantastic together. She helps him loosen
up and he gives her the stability she never really had. They are definitely
opposites but so fantastic together once they stop fighting their attraction.
They may be in an arranged marriage but that doesn’t mean they can’t have real
feelings for each other. Fantastic job Shain, I look forward to reading more
books by you.
