Matteo: A Mafia Romance

From New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Clarissa Wild comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel.

To save my mother after she falls dangerously ill, I'm forced into a marriage with Lucio Agostini, a corrupt and malicious Mafia lord set on making me his bride. Lucio's only interest is to acquire my estranged father's wealth, and I have no choice if I want my mother to live.

But Lucio's plans to marry me are thwarted when a rival Mafia family crashes our wedding right before we exchange vows.

My hand in marriage is stolen, and the ring is put around my finger by none other than Matteo De Silva, sworn enemy of Lucio Agostini. He's callous, headstrong, and dangerous.

In a stubborn quest to avenge his mother, he snatches me at my wedding to use me as a pawn in a devious game. He whisks me away to his mansion, which is nothing more than a luxurious prison for his newlywed wife.

His obsession with destroying Lucio is all that matters to him, even if it costs me my freedom. But I refuse to become collateral. Underneath all that rugged bravado is a wounded man who longs for affection, and I will use his attraction to me against him.

However, my past is laced in despair, and my secrets consume me from the inside out. When everything feels lost, Matteo's arms offer solace, and his touch calms my mind and sets my senses ablaze. His wicked charms slowly creep their way into my heart until it's no longer possible for me to deny the growing passion between us.

We both want what the other isn't willing to give.

A sinful, dirty fight for control is all that's left.

The only question is ... how far are we willing to go?
