Dance of Thorns: A Dark Forced Marriage Mafia Romance (The Darkest Dance)

Marrying the man who was supposed to wed your dead best friend is its own special kind of hell — especially when he looks at you like you're the one who put her in the ground.

Sera Marchetti has never been the family's pride. The outcast daughter of the Marchetti crime family, she's spent her life collecting labels — addict, damaged goods, black sheep. She's made peace with her darkness. What she isn't prepared for is Bane Antonov.

Cold. Scarred. Ruthlessly beautiful. The crown prince of the Antonov Bratva was supposed to belong to someone else. But fate — or something far more sinister — has rewritten the arrangement, and now Sera is bound to a man who despises her with every fiber of his being.

The thing is, she despises him right back. Mostly.

Because somewhere beneath the venom and the violence, Bane sees her — the real her — in ways no one ever has. He knows secrets she's never spoken aloud. He touches her like a punishment she finds herself wanting. And she can't remember why, or how, or what happened the night their worlds first collided.

In this dark mafia romance, two broken, dangerous people are shackled together by family duty, old wounds, and a truth neither of them is ready to face. The hatred between them burns white-hot — but so does everything else.

Some marriages are a death sentence
