New Release ~ Merciless Wager ~ by ~ Anise Storm

𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄

I was living my best life with a career, friends, family, and love. Or so I’d thought.

After the ultimate act of betrayal, I find myself in the captivity of a dangerous mobster.

Zarren is unlike any other man I’ve ever known and this newfound world terrifies me.

And that world is one that hits even closer to home when I learn of my true lineage.

I’m not just a Sicilian Mafia Princess, but also betrothed to a Bratva Prince I’ve never met.

Everything I’ve ever known or loved is gone and I’m at the mercy of a captor who intrigues me.

And the attraction between us is hard to ignore, especially after he nearly gives his life for mine.

When we finally give in to the passion between us, it isn’t long before I fall for his raw brutality.

Only time’s running out for us because I’ve already been promised to another equally dangerous man.

The bastard son of a sexual predator, I have always had the deck stacked against me.

It’s the reason I had to fight harder to earn my rightful place in the Brannington Empire.

Finally, I’ve forged a path for myself earning the respect of those that came before me.

And I’m tasked with furthering the organization’s power and influence by initiating a trade..

The mission is simple. Retrieve the Cosa Nostra princess and hold her for the Bratva Prince.

Only, she manages to re-ignite a long forgotten fire inside of me and I can’t resist the burn.

Aurora cannot either so when passion erupts between us, the entire mission begins to change.

I no longer want to give her up, wanting instead to keep her beside me… underneath me…

But duty comes before love and I’m forced to make a final wager for the heart I want to claim.
