Unwilling Bride

My father sold my hand to settle his debts… but my virginity wasn’t part of the bargain.

My father never turns down a sure bet.
It was a win/win for him–no more owed money and an alliance with the Bruno family to boot.
He didn’t ask me if I wanted to marry a mobster.

He didn’t have to.
What I want doesn’t matter.
But if I’m forced to leave one uncaring man’s home for another, there is one thing I can take.
Or rather, lose.

And the delicious Irishman who wants to buy me a drink is the perfect man to take it.
That face.
That accent.
That body.

Every bit of it, all for me, for one perfect, toe-curling night before I’m married off to a stranger.
Only my new fiance isn’t a stranger at all…
He’s the one night stand who took my first time.
