His Tesoro: A Mafia Romance (Empire of Royals)

Once she dreamed of love. Now her future is just another deal struck in blood.

Sofiya Ivanova spent years locked away due to her father's disdain at having a defective daughter. The head of the Bratva can't be associated with weakness--and to him, that's all she is. That is, until a marriage alliance gives him the opportunity to use her as a pawn in his game.

As Sofiya heads down the aisle, she carries a fragile hope that she might find freedom, belonging, even love on the other side of this business arrangement. But her new husband makes it brutally clear he wants nothing to do with her. Despite his coldness, she can't deny her attraction to the handsome Don . . . especially when she glimpses the caring man beneath his harsh exterior.

Matteo Rossi's life has been defined by betrayal. After a traitor murdered his parents, he clawed his way to his rightful place as Don of the Italian Mafia. Now, with enemies closing in from all sides, he'll do whatever it takes to maintain control of New York City--including taking Sofiya as his wife. Except, he never expected her: the sweet, sunny bride consuming his every thought.

But when the delicate trust between them splinters, Matteo will stop at nothing to protect his empire . . . even if it means risking the woman who's stolen his heart.

His Tesoro is a spicy, grumpy/sunshine, age-gap mafia romance with an arranged marriage, a disabled heroine, and a jealous/possessive hero. It ends in an HEA and can be read as a standalone.
