Marry Me Not is the second House of Ferraro book. Fabiana was raised to be a mob wife. Cosimo Ferraro, heir to the family, wants no wife at all and makes sure she knows it. Then his father is murdered, he needs her to help him take the throne, and he offers six months of marriage before he sets her free. Cold hero, arranged marriage, slow burn, and, the author says, no other-woman drama. This note is ours. It is not a publisher blurb.
