MARKED: A Brutal Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

She was sent to seduce and destroy him. Gabriella Rossi has spent years training for this moment-charming, luring, eliminating threats like Lucien Vela. But the moment their eyes meet, she knows this isn't a mission. It's a reckoning. And she might not survive it. Lucien is calm, cruel, and unreadable-wrapped in luxury, danger, and secrets no one dares speak aloud. He sees right through her. And worse, he waits. Not to strike-but to own. What begins as control turns to obsession. A collar left on her bed. A contract offered without pressure. A safe word chosen and never once used. She thought she would hate him. But she finds herself craving the bruises he leaves-because with every mark, he teaches her who she really is. When the truth about her brother's death rips everything apart, the lines between captor and protector vanish. And in the blood-soaked fallout, Gabriella must choose: keep the vow she made... or follow the man who was never hers to want. Together, they are poison. Together, they are salvation. But love built on violence always leaves scars-and some scars were meant to be permanent.
