The Vendetti Empire — Sapphire Knight

They're the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia name in New York...
Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi's throne, he's only required to do one thing. He must get married to prove that he's matured and is stable enough to take over. The stipulation doesn't sound like much of a challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet's the Bottaro Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another country. She's young -- too young by his standards. She's headstrong -- a problem for a dominant man like Matteo. She's desirable -- the biggest issue of all.
Before long, Matteo's questioning himself, wondering if Violet's really such a burden, or if just maybe, he's falling in love with something other than the Empire.

Holy hotness batman, what did I just read! I won't spoil a single thing as this is one book you should truly read blind. Don't have a single thought as you open the book and devour the pages. There is nothing more b*d*ss than a crime family romance for me. I just can't get enough. Sapphire Knight draws you into this world with these strong characters and takes you deep into this place page by page. I couldn't stop and I'm dying for more!
