Pre-Order: Ruthless Devotion (A Forced Marriage Mafia Romance)

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 25, 2025

Once upon a time a little boy gave a little girl a special valentine. 

But she rejected him because he was the weird kid. I was that little girl, and I shouldn’t still be paying for that rejection, but I am. 

As time went on his fixation with me only grew stronger. He was always there in the shadows.

Watching.

Waiting. 

And now he’s the powerful heir of a crime syndicate. My father owes him a lot of money and says I must marry him to save our family from destruction.

When we were children Aidan said he would marry me someday, but I knew he couldn’t if I said no. I was very wrong about that. 

My life as I know it is over, but my captivity to this ruthless man has just begun.

Warning: This is a dark Beauty and the Beast retelling with a heroine who has boundaries, trauma, and every reason not to fall headfirst for the morally gray man obsessed with her. Like Belle, she won’t be instantly soft, forgiving, or submissive. The Beast must earn her trust and atone for the harm he’s caused. If you want an easy, instant-love romance with a heroine who must be immediately “understanding of her captor” to be likeable, this isn’t your book.

Note: This is a dark stalker romance with organized crime and a forced marriage. This is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
