The Reluctant Bride by Arianna Fraser

Lauren, freshly arrived in England, is looking forward to starting a new career with the London Symphony Orchestra, and a new life away from her indifferent, foolish father. But she finds that an ocean is not enough to separate her from his mistakes. After letting his company be taken over by the infamous Corporation, one bad choice after another has left him afoul of its ruling body. Only Thomas Williams, The Corporation’s powerful Number Two, can save him. For a price, of course. His daughter. Thomas had never wanted a wife, a family, or anything conventional in his life.

His demanding sexual predilections and violent past had always made such things seem out of his reach. But The Corporation has just made a deal with a devil even more dangerous than they are – The Bratva Crime Ring. The Bratva are old-fashioned monsters, and they believe that marriage and children make a man – or at least make him easier to handle. So a seemingly docile, innocent young woman like Lauren, who owes him her father’s life, seems to be the perfect choice. But soon, what was just an expedient arrangement turns to passion, loyalty, even friendship. And maybe more. Maybe a real future together. If his past doesn’t get them killed.

The Reluctant Bride is a Dark Mafia Romance and is 18+ only.
