Deceitful Union

I wasn’t sure if self-loathing or insanity would get me first. I only knew I was destroyed by what I had done.

Jamie Lombard’s life is shattered when he’s manipulated into ordering a hit on the woman he once loved.

Worse—he now owes the Mafia a debt.

“Have you any idea how we deal with a man who refuses to pay a debt?”

Jamie has no choice.

To repay his debt, he must deceive a girl whose only crime is being her father’s daughter.

He didn’t expect her to trust him.
He didn’t expect to care.

But lies never stay buried.
And when the truth comes out, Jamie has to choose:

Lose the woman he loves—
Or face the men who own him.

Now I knew what a real life looked like, I was determined to have it—whatever the cost.

Lorena Caletti accepted that she would obey her father until she married—and then obey her husband.
That was the only world she knew.
Until she met Jamie.

For the first time, she sees a life outside the shadow of the Mafia—
A life where she can be true to herself.
And she’s ready to risk everything for it.

Even if it means defying the Mafia.
