The Mafia Don's Christmas Bride

Three weeks before Christmas, one dangerous man needs a wife. Unfortunately for him, he chooses the one woman who could bring his empire to its knees.

Adrian Russo is Chicago's most feared mafia boss. Cold, calculating, and impossible to intimidate, he has built his power on one rule: never let anyone close enough to hurt you.

Then someone tries to kill him.

With his enemies watching and the most powerful families in Chicago preparing for his Christmas Gala, Adrian needs a wife who can convince the world he remains untouchable.

Enter Ava Bennett.

Beautiful, stubborn, and determined to expose his secrets, Ava is the last woman Adrian should trust. But when he offers her a marriage of convenience, she sees an opportunity to get closer to the man she has spent months investigating.
Three weeks. One marriage. Absolutely no feelings.

That should be simple enough.

Except Adrian is not the monster Ava expected, and the man beneath his ruthless reputation is becoming dangerously difficult to resist. His lingering glances unsettle her. His unexpected tenderness weakens her resolve. And every stolen moment makes walking away feel less certain.

But in Adrian's world, nothing is ever as it seems.

Someone is lying. Someone is watching. And the closer Ava gets to her husband, the more she begins to suspect that their marriage may be hiding a secret far more dangerous than either of them imagined.

With Christmas approaching and betrayal lurking behind Chicago's most respectable faces, Ava must decide whether Adrian is the man she should fear most.

Because falling for a mafia boss is dangerous.

Falling for one whose enemies know your name could be fatal.

And this Christmas, the wrong kiss could cost them everything.
