[US Sale] A brutal marriage. A dangerous mafia empire.
When Valentina Moretti is persuaded into an arranged marriage with Rafael De Leon, the ruthless kingpin of New York’s modern mafia, she expects coldness, control, maybe even cruelty. What she doesn’t expect is desire. Not the kind that consumes her. Not the kind that turns punishment into pleasure.
Rafael is unapologetic. He builds his empire, breaks enemies, and takes his wife like she’s both his possession and his pride. To the outside world, she’s a trophy. Behind closed doors, he makes her kneel, beg, and surrender until she no longer knows where pain ends and pleasure begins.
Drawn deeper into Rafael’s world of cartel alliances, bloody retribution, and shifting loyalties, Valentina must choose between the father who betrayed her and the husband who claims her as his own. Lines blur. Obedience becomes survival. And love, if it exists, looks nothing like safety.
This is not a love story. This is life and death. And she is both captive and queen.
Perfect for fans of dark arranged marriage romance, mafia obsession, power imbalance, and possessive antiheroes.
