Alexander by Autumn Reign

Two warring families. One arranged marriage. An alliance that threatens to fall.

Lia:
He’s the silent, brooding heir to a mafia empire,
with burning eyes, and a rugged, inked body to match.
I’m not fooled by his smoothness.
He’s the enforcer.
Taking pleasure in intimidation.
I’m just part of the deal.
Our marriage was arranged to bridge the two families — yet I felt a spark and that first night together, fireworks.
The alliance is barely on speaking terms — how much more strain can it take?
I thought I knew my family. Now, I’m second-guessing.
I must try to protect him. If he’ll let me.

Alexander:
She’s naïve, spoiled even.
She’s a tactical move.
To absolve my father’s mistakes.
I pledged my loyalty to her family and ultimately my life.
Now that I’ve had his daughter, I’m stuck under his thumb.
Yet something about her comforts me.
She’s sharp. And she’s beautiful.
My luck has run out and riled my cruel, lecherous father.
Were we betrayed?
I must uncover the truth.
If I fail, this could be the spark that burns the bridge
we both stand on.
