Mafia's Mate (Mafia)

In a world where loyalty is everything, love is the ultimate weakness-or so Dominic Valtieri has always believed. As the cold and ruthless leader of a powerful mafia syndicate, Dominic is feared by his enemies and respected by his allies. But his life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Aria Moretti, a sharp-tongued, independent woman who has no intention of bending to his will.Forced into a bond neither of them wanted, Dominic and Aria find themselves tied together by fate and circumstance. Aria may be Dominic's mate in the eyes of the mafia, but she refuses to be his possession. Her defiance sparks a fire within him that he can't extinguish, and their constant battle of wills gives way to an undeniable passion. Yet, in a world as treacherous as his, love can be just as dangerous as any enemy.
