ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 22, 2026

I accidentally flashed a brutal mafia beast… And now he’s my future husband.

I only tried to cool off on a steamy afternoon… and ended up giving a gorgeous monster the view of his life.

I’m absolutely mortified, until his peep show turns into something more.

My afternoon delight is Brenden McGrath, a sinfully gorgeous mafia thief with ice in his veins, blood on his hands, and no patience for fools.

I thought it was a one-time mistake until my father informs me that I will be marrying Brenden whether I like it or not.

My new husband’s frozen on the inside but blistering behind closed doors.

He takes me apart but never reveals an inch of himself.

We want nothing to do with each other, right until my younger brother gets in trouble with the Armenian mafia.

Now Brenden’s the only man who can save my family, and I have to convince my impossible, secretive husband to help, no matter what it costs him.

All he asks for in return is my obedience… and my body in his bed every night.
