Rook

My father sold me to a wolf to end a war.

One month to prepare. One cold dinner. One chess piece left beside my wineglass like a promise.

Nikolai Vasquez is the Black Tide Butchers' treasurer, the man who never loses a game he can calculate. I told him I'd make his life miserable.

He smiled and made his first move.

Now I'm his wife. I sleep behind a locked door he never tries. He cooks for me and watches me with storm-gray eyes. And he keeps a vow I never asked for: he won't touch me until I ask.

But someone in my family wants me dead. And the only man standing between me and a bullet is the stranger I swore to hate.

He's dangerous. He's hiding something wild.

And every night across the chessboard, I'm losing.

How long can a queen hold out against the wolf who's already decided she's his?

Arranged marriage. Mafia princess. Possessive wolf shifter biker. Fated mates. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Guaranteed HEA.
