His Rules : A Forbidden Dark Mafia Organized-Crime Romance (Ruin & Rules #1)

I was supposed to plan my sister’s wedding… not fall for her fiancé. In a city ruled by organized crime and smoke-screen alliances, he handed me rules to keep me alive. I broke every single one. 🔥

Do not be alone with me.
Do not ask about my business.
Do not come to the docks.
And the new one I wrote with no lies, no shame, consent or nothing.

I’m Mara—wedding fixer, reluctant witness, and the woman who won’t stay escorted. He’s the protective, morally gray bodyguard wearing my sister’s ring for a truce. When the first fire hits, I chase a wolf-and-compass tattoo and a name whispered like a bruise. In churches and on the docks, in alleys and boardrooms, we turn a fake engagement into a different kind of alliance—side by side, not behind. He keeps time; I choose direction. Together we make our own rules. 🖤⏱️🗝️
