We have to do this.

And we have to do it with each other.

Things could be worse.... right???

I've disobeyed, and now there's no choice. If I don't get married on the spot, then I'll be shipped out of New York and forced to marry a stranger.

At least Monte Castelli isn't a stranger. Instead, he's an unpredictable package of mafia enforcer muscle with a sinful reputation and my longtime 'frenemy'. Despite being at each other's throats, we ended up on the run together when the New York scene turned threatening, and Monte decided he was going to protect me whether I approved or not.

But the real trouble has only just begun.

My fearsome mob boss uncle doesn't want to hear that there's a perfectly good explanation why I was found in a cheap motel room with my shirtless bodyguard. There's only one solution he'll accept, and there are terrifying consequences if we refuse.

Now, on my uncle's orders, Monte and I find ourselves facing each other and repeating wedding vows. What's more, we are both stuck in this marriage arrangement until we find a way out.

Even with our constant bickering, the 'one bed' situation meant it didn't take long before we wound up between the sheets. Once we started, we couldn't stop. We violated every single boundary over and over.

And I should have realized I was playing with fire.

All the rumors say that Monte Castelli isn't the kind of man who can be tamed.

I thought I knew better.

And we're both going to pay a very high price for our sins…

Tropes: forced marriage; mafia bodyguard and tech gamer girl; frenemies-to-lovers; one-bed situation; coaching and praise; so much banter.

This story will really put you through it all, but a happily ever after is guaranteed.
