Forbidden Fate: a Dark Mafia Forced Marriage Romance (The Omertà Brotherhood Book 1)

She's supposed to hate him. She's doing a terrible job of it.

When Sofia Ricci is handed to Dante Morretti as collateral in a blood debt her father can't repay, she walks down the aisle with fury in her chest and murder in her eyes. He stands at the altar like he owns the world — because in this city, he does. The Omertà Brotherhood built their empire on silence and suffering, and Sofia refuses to become another casualty of their code.

But Dante isn't the monster she expects.

He's worse. He's patient. Controlled. A man who watches her like she's the only interesting thing in a room full of weapons, and somehow that terrifies her more than his brutality ever could.

The rules of their arrangement are simple: appear devoted, ask nothing, survive. Sofia breaks every single one. She pushes. He answers with quiet intensity that unravels her carefully constructed rage, stitch by stitch. Their war of wills unfolds behind closed doors — sharp words that cut too close to honesty, silences that say everything neither of them will admit.

She can't trust a man who lives in blood and shadows. He can't want a woman who refuses to kneel.

They're both running out of reasons to keep their distance.

*Forbidden Fate* is the first book in the Omertà Brotherhood series — because some marriages don't break you. Some remake you entirely.
