Merger — R.E. Saxton

It's like a fairy tale when Dominic rescues Lily from a bad situation in Mexico. He sweeps her off her feet and into marriage within a week. It's only after the wedding that she discovers her husband has more in common with Machiavelli than Prince Charming. The ruthless mobster deliberately targeted her as a bargaining chip to use against her father, who is heading up an investigation into the Rinaldi family's mafia ties. Their relationship is a merger, not a marriage. He believes Lily is sweet and subservient. He actually thinks she won't give him any trouble at all. Her new husband has another think coming.
