Furious and heartbroken, she storms out—only to run into Alexander Blackwood, a cold, enigmatic billionaire. The city's most feared CEO... and the Mafia King. Alexander has a problem. To solidify his power in both the corporate world and the underworld, he needs a wife. Not a gold digger, not a socialite, but someone unpredictable and uncontrollable by his enemies. When Sophia drunkenly agrees to a contract marriage, she doesn’t realize what she’s stepping into—a world where luxury and power mask danger and bloodshed. At first, they are just two people using each other. But as danger closes in, obsession turns to passion, and passion turns to love. However, their pasts are darker than they realize. Sophia’s past hides a secret that could bring the entire mafia empire to its knees. Alexander’s enemies will stop at nothing to take her away from him. And when her ex-fiancé reappears, begging for another chance, Alexander’s possessiveness becomes lethal. Will she escape his world, or will she be bound to him forever?

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
