BLURB

I choose Killian O’Malley out of desperation.

My papà gives me an ultimatum with one other option. I’ll do anything not to marry the Italian mafia boss who lives in Italy and is twice my age.
So I become Killian’s debt repayment. When I’m forced to pick, I don’t know he’s a boxer, a decade older than me, or has a body better than Zeus.
He’s bossy.
Arrogant.
He calls me a mafia brat and creates rules like I’m his child, saying he’ll tame me.
Our angsty relationship is so hot between the sheets my head is constantly spinning.
At times, he becomes a raging psychopath destroying anyone who even looks at me, including my ex who won’t move on.
I thought Killian would be a playboy, but he takes our vows to the extreme.
Everything about him makes him my brutal defender.

”Brutal Defender” is the eighth jaw-dropping installment of the “Mafia Wars” series. It’s an arranged marriage, age gap, Dark Mafia romance, interconnecting stand-alone, and guaranteed to have an HEA.

TRAILER




EXCERPT

The server comes over and fills my glass with Barolo. She tries to fill Killian's glass, and he puts his hand over it. "I'm good, thank you."

I question, "You don't drink wine?"

He chuckles. "You make that sound like a sin."

"It is," I insist.

"I stick with whiskey and Guinness." I raise my eyebrows. I've never met a man before who doesn't drink wine. In my house, it's at every dinner.

Selena laughs, and I tear my eyes away from Killian. She has a beautiful Greek accent. "You can't get any more Irish than the O'Malleys."

"Are you from Greece?" I ask.

She nods. Her eyes light up. "Yes. I moved to Chicago when I was barely in my twenties. If you want, I'll take you around and show you the city when you have a chance?"

"Sure. That would be really nice."

"Have you been there before?" she asks.

"No."

Killian dramatically gasps. "You've never been to Chicago?"

"Now you're acting like that's a sin," I tease.

"Anna moved from New York, too," another Russian man across the table states.

The woman next to him smiles. She says, "It's like a smaller New York but with its own charm. I'm sure you'll love it."

Her husband beams and says, "Since you're all here, we should tell you. Anna's pregnant, too, so we'll be staying in tonight."

The room erupts in congratulations.

"Do you like yoga?" Selena asks.

"Yes."

"Great. Us girls meet up for yoga and do brunch afterward on Saturdays. You should come."

"I'd love to," I reply, grateful I'll have something to look forward to with some other women. I've never really had girlfriends. The private school Papà sent me to was full of backstabbing snobs. When I got older, several I was close to got mad at me for their boyfriends hitting on me. I didn't even like their scumbag beaus. My best friend wanted Massimo. When he turned her down, she stopped calling me. One by one, all my friendships disintegrated. I decided it was too hard to meet genuine women and stopped trying. My wedding party consists of my cousins who are younger than me and I'm not even close to. I opted to meet them at the church and not even let them help me get ready.

Will things be different in Chicago? Is it possible to have a group of girlfriends?
