Pact of Ashes: Cosa Antica — The Falconeri Saga Vol.2

She thought she was being married off to a mafia heir. The truth is older. And the only man who can save her is the one who was supposed to kill her. Agata Marchesi is twenty-eight, a Milanese corporate lawyer, and the daughter of a debt her family never told her about. Damiano Falconeri is thirty-four, the heir-apparent of a family the world thinks is new money out of Palermo. The world is wrong. The Falconeri are older than any of the Five Families, older than the word mafia. The bride was supposed to be a closed file. Instead, on the third night, he watches her read his grandfather's library by candlelight, and he understands he is in trouble. The wedding was a transaction. The marriage is becoming something neither of them planned for. Set in real Sicily. Tropes: arranged marriage, possessive antihero, forced proximity, slow burn, gothic atmosphere, dual POV, age gap. For readers of Danielle Lori, Gabrielle Sands, Cora Reilly, RuNyx. Adult content 18+.
