She bakes cupcakes. He breaks kneecaps.
Fern Whitaker is just a shy bakery girl with flour on her cheek and a dream of keeping her little shop afloat. She never meant to wander into the city's darkest corner-or to catch the attention of the man who rules it with blood on his hands and tattoos on his skin.
Atlas Vale is a ruthless mob boss with zero patience, a bulletproof reputation, and one single weakness: her. The moment he opens the door to her sugary delivery, he knows she's his. Soft, sweet, and completely innocent-everything he isn't.
When Fern accidentally witnesses something she shouldn't, Atlas doesn't ask questions. He throws her over his shoulder and announces to the world: she's my wife now. Because wives can't testify, and this boss doesn't share. Ever.
She can protest all she wants, but he's already slipping a ring on her finger and carrying her straight to his bed.
And once he claims something, he never lets go.
Possessive hero. Innocent heroine. Instant obsession.
This over-the-top, dirty-sweet romance features instalove, a forced marriage, and one very tattooed mob boss who won't stop until his girl says "I do"-and "yes, sir."
