Brutal Defender: The O'Malley Family by Maggie Cole, Maggie Cole

5.0

Arranged marriage between two mafia families, one Irish and one Italian. The first thing they could agree on was they never saw themselves marrying someone that was not from the same nationality.

Killian and Ariannas marriage is a means to settle a debt for him and ensure protection for her. This arranged marriage starts out as nothing more than insane chemistry and slowly starts to build into a relationship. In true Maggie fashion, this book captured my attention and refused to let it go!

- "I'm not letting you divorce me because you're my wife. I made a vow to you. And if I fuck something up, I'll make it right. But you don't get to quit on me. I don't quit on you, and you don't quit on me. And I'll be damned if you move to New York, so get it out of your head."
