A Deal With A Don: An Arranged Marriage
Patrice Balark
Blossom is your average girl just trying to keep her head above water. Motherless and forced to grow up too fast, she spends her days juggling her own dreams while practically raising a father who refuses to act his age. She’s strong because she has to be, soft only when no one’s looking. But when her father’s reckless decisions entangle them with the wrong people, trouble doesn’t just knock ….. it kicks the door in.
And the price for their protection?
Her.
Handsome was born into power. Groomed by a ruthless drug cartel and destined to inherit the throne. Discipline. Intelligence. Command. He has every trait a leader needs to rule the streets. Every trait except one: companionship. A certified ladies’ man, Handsome has always kept emotions out of business and women out of his heart. Commitment was never part of the plan, until an ultimatum threatens everything he’s worked for. If he wants the crown, he has to prove he can build more than an empire… he has to build a legacy.
When Blossom is offered up as part of a deal meant to secure both her father’s life and Handsome’s future, neither of them expects the arrangement to shift the balance of power. What starts as a transaction slowly turns into something far more complicated and far more dangerous.
Because in this world, loyalty is currency, love is leverage, and enemies don’t always come from across the table… sometimes they’re sitting right beside you.
Gritty, unpredictable, and layered with explosive twists, A Deal With a Don is a story of sacrifice, survival, and what happens when a woman who has nothing left to lose collides with a man who refuses to lose at all.
