Angielski
She was supposed to marry the heir.
She fell for the wrong brother.
Now the wrong brother is the only thing standing between her and a future she never chose.
Full Description:
Valentina Mancini has spent twenty-six years being her father's most useful ornament. Educated, composed, and deeply furious about it, she knows exactly what the Cosa Nostra expects of a don's daughter: silence, compliance, and a strategic marriage to whoever best serves the family.
When she meets Marco Fieri at a Sicilian dinner party, she doesn't know he's the wrong brother. She only knows he's the first man who's looked at her like she's worth looking at.
One night in a garden in Sicily changes everything.
Three weeks later, her father announces her engagement - to Luca Fieri. Marco's older brother. The heir. The future Don.
The man Marco will never be allowed to take anything from.
Valentina says no. Loudly. Repeatedly. In language her father doesn't appreciate. But the alliance has been built over thirty years and her refusal doesn't change the numbers - it just means she has to find another way out. The problem is Marco. Still in rooms she's in. Still looking. Still the thing she can't look away from, regardless of whose name is on the engagement papers.
And Luca - difficult, precise, surprisingly real - keeps refusing to be the obstacle she needs him to be.
When a violent attack puts both brothers in the same room bleeding and she runs across it without thinking, every person watching sees exactly who she ran to.
There's no taking it back now.
His Forbidden Bride is a full-length dark Italian mafia romance featuring a feisty, foul-mouthed heroine, two devastatingly attractive brothers, forbidden desire, sexual tension you could cut with a knife, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Book One of The Blood Covenant series.
