Moretti Crime Family

It started with a single look...my obsession, my desire, and my need to possess the sweet, and incredibly naive Elena Romero. Dark raven hair, and piercing green eyes. She would make a beautiful bride. Ten-million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold. The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most. The man who took everything from me: her father.

The deal was sealed the moment she stepped onto that stage. It was like seeing a ghost: sunshine-blonde hair, pale skin, azure eyes that held a thousand secrets. I didn't know what caused her to end up on that auction block, and I didn't care. All I knew was that I had to have her-no matter the cost. A million dollars later, she became mine. Mine to break. Mine to use. Mine to keep. This standalone novel contains dark themes, including those involving sex and violence-but, as always, there's a happily ever after and no cheating.

For years, I've watched her-followed her, stalked her. At first, it was about protecting her, keeping her safe and out of harm's way. Then it became a full-blown obsession. I vowed to never touch her again, to protect her from everyone, including myself. But when enemies lurking in the shadows threaten to take all that away, I know I'll do anything to keep my butterfly safe... even if it means betraying the only family I've ever known. This standalone dark romance contains mature themes and sexual situations.
