Claimed at First Sight
A Mafia Brides Novel

Mia

He saw. He claimed. He conquered.

Don Maximo Marcos strutted into my life like a dark god in a tailored suit and decided I was his.
Not in a romantic, sweep-you-off-your-feet way.
No.
In a you-will-bear-my-six-heirs sort of way.

Apparently, I’m the perfect candidate to “continue his bloodline.”
Lucky me.
Too bad I’m not interested in becoming some mafia baby factory.

Even if he’s unfairly gorgeous.
Even if his voice does things to me I wish it wouldn’t.
Even if the way he looks at me makes my thoughts short-circuit.

I told him no. Several times.
But then my sister ends up in trouble, and he’s the only one with the power to help.

So now I’m making a deal with the devil and trying very hard not to fall into bed, or worse, into love, with him.

Maximo

The moment I saw Mia Accardi, I knew she was mine.
No man would have her. No one would take her from me.

She fights me with every breath, every glare, every kiss.
And I crave her more each time.

Love was never part of the plan.
Heirs, yes. Control, always.

But the more I touch her, the harder it is to remember why I ever wanted anything less than everything.
She was meant to be my obedient wife.

Now she is my obsession.
And I will burn the world before I let her go.
