The Camorra's Bride: A Dark Mafia Romance with Arranged Marriage
Dylan Cross
She inherited a debt she didn't owe. He offered marriage as payment. Neither expected to want what came next.
When art restorer Chiara Esposito identifies her father's body in a Naples morgue, she thinks the worst is behind her. Then Marco De Luca's lawyer hands her an envelope, and she discovers that death doesn't forgive debts—it transfers them.
Marco De Luca didn't build his empire on mercy. As head of the De Luca clan, he's learned that everything has a price, and he always collects. Chiara's father owed him a fortune. Now Chiara owes him everything. His solution is simple: marriage. Not romance. Not a partnership. A contract, signed and binding.
But Chiara isn't the frightened girl he expected. She's sharp, self-contained, and determined to survive him. She catalogs exits, measures distances, and never stops looking for the hidden logic beneath his carefully constructed world. And Marco? He's spent eight years keeping everyone at arm's length for reasons he won't explain—until the woman who was supposed to be leverage becomes the one person who sees past the armor.
In a city built on ruins and reinvention, two people who never chose each other must decide if survival is enough—or if the thing they've been building in the spaces between obligation and freedom is worth fighting for.
A marriage that wasn't meant to be real. A man who doesn't know how to want. A woman who refuses to disappear. Discover the dark romance readers are calling "breathtaking" and "impossible to put down."
