Ari Tavano is a ruthless Made Man and almost half my age...and the Boss is arranging our marriage to protect me.
Ari's quiet presence has been a constant in my life for the past decade, always jumping in to support my family–mafia and blood–without question. He's never seen me as just a mob wife who's confined by tragedies, royalty, and a treasonous late husband. Or so I thought…
The Enforcer's rigid rule-following extends beyond his job and into our marriage. He intends to enforce a passionless union of convenience to shield me–from what? The undercurrent of attraction simmering between us that he's pretending not to notice?
I don't want love. But I refuse to be locked in another cold marriage.
There are parts of himself that he keeps carefully hidden–even from his best friend, my son. But Ari's determination to avoid temptation suggests he's covering up something far riskier than a decade-long obsession... with me.
Ruthless Temptations is a standalone mafia romance with no cheating. It contains discussions of subject matter that some may find disturbing. Please see the note to readers or the author's website for a detailed list of topics. The Arranged Devotion series is interconnected but can be read in any order.
