In my world, marriage is a transaction between two families. Nothing more. So, when the head of the Mancini crime family approaches me with an offer to marry his daughter in exchange for what I need to destroy my enemy, I accept. But when a woman I've never heard of shows up on the contract, questions arise. If forcing her hand in marriage is what it takes to get what I want, then so be it. A wife was never meant to be anything more than a business transaction. A means to an end. She might be easy on the eyes, a pretty little brunette with curves I want to sink myself into, but her sharp tongue and even sharper attitude may just be my undoing. I make it a point to know everyone I need to know in this world, so that begs the question-who the hell is this woman?Matteo is a dual POV mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and open-door spice.
