Dance of Thorns

I'm forced to marry my dead best friend's fiancé.

Most people call me a freak. Damaged goods. Addict.

The outcast daughter of the Marchetti crime family.

A black sheep with a dark soul.

But then one night, I fall into a darker one.

Bane Antonov, the cold, villainously beautiful crown prince of the Antonov Bratva.

A man covered in scars and ink.

A man who was supposed to marry my now-dead and buried best friend.

The night we crash together, we talk each other off the literal edge.

I should've jumped.

Because somehow, Bane knows my every dark secret. Every scar. Every inky black desire.

He's a villain and a monster.

The thing is, I might be, too.

There are things I don't remember.

Like why he hates me. Why I crave his venomous touch and poisonous lips anyway.

Now, he has me locked in his cage with his ring on my finger.

We're in a war, 'til death do us part.

But we'll see who falls first.

And it's a

Long

Way

Down.

Dance of Thorns is a standalone dark mafia, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers romance with a smart, untamable black cat heroine, and an ultra-possessive, morally gray hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. No cliffhanger; HEA included. For mature listeners.
