Ruthless Redemption (previously published as The Bastard's Bargain) (The O'Malleys)

Marrying your enemy is one thing—falling for him is something else entirely.

Keira O'Malley grew up knowing that love and power rarely coexist in New York City's brutal underworld, but nothing prepares her for the moment her family trades her future for a fragile peace. Her new husband? Dmitri Romanov—cold, ruthless, and dangerously compelling in ways she refuses to acknowledge. He doesn't want a partner. He wants a pawn.

Keira has other ideas.

In this dark, pulse-pounding romantic suspense set against the razor-edged world of rival crime families, Katee Robert delivers a marriage-of-convenience story that crackles with tension from the very first page. Keira refuses to play the obedient trophy wife, meeting Dmitri's calculated control with sharp defiance and a boldness that clearly unsettles him. He expects compliance. What he gets is a woman who dismantles his carefully constructed walls one infuriating, irresistible encounter at a time.

But as threats from outside their fragile alliance escalate, the line between adversaries and allies begins to blur dangerously. Dmitri starts to see Keira not as a strategic asset but as something far more precious—and far more dangerous to his carefully guarded heart. And Keira discovers that the man beneath the ice might be worth fighting for after all.

Ruthless Redemption is a scorching, emotionally charged story about two people who never planned to want each other—and can no longer imagine wanting anyone else.
