Mine to Crown

Her husband owns her life. The stranger is dangerous enough to take it from him.

A princess does not belong to herself. For five years, her body has been state property, her marriage a political bargain, and her silence the price of peace. She has learned how to survive inside luxury so polished no one calls it a prison.

One anonymous night changes the question. She offers a false name to a stranger whose power is written in every controlled movement. He is a mafia don, an unreformed predator, and the first man in years to ask for her consent.

Wanting him is forbidden. Trusting him could be fatal. His obsession promises protection backed by lethal force, but dangerous men rarely give without taking. To free her, he could risk exposure and war. To possess her, he would need the one thing violence cannot secure: her willing surrender. How far will he go when the woman he wants belongs to another man?

Perfect for fans of H.D. Carlton and Sophie Lark, with forced marriage, trapped royalty, five-alarm heat, and the dark HEA of a mafia king built to worship as ruthlessly as he destroys.

One lock stands between her and freedom. The man who can break it may only be offering another.
