Talia

My only goal in life is to play the cello in a world-famous orchestra. Unfortunately, education, lessons, and connections don't come cheap. So, when the most notorious Mafia boss in New York City offers me millions to marry one of his men, I have two choices: take the money and follow my dreams, or risk death.

I choose to take the money. But if I had known who my husband would be, I would have picked death. Leo might be gorgeous and lethal, but he has never met a woman who refuses to bow.

Leo

After being pushed out of my country, I lost my woman, my business, and my life. The streets of New York City are dangerous but nothing compared to the wrath growing within me. Joining the Mafia is a natural progression, especially when they help quench my thirst for revenge. When the boss offers me a marriage that will help me reach vengeance, I jump at the chance. I figure she'll be a sweet, quiet girl . . .

Not the stuck-up musician from the club. She thinks she can always get the last word, but I'm on a warpath that she can't derail. She can either fall in line or fall into pieces.

Contains mature themes.
