Release Date: January 7, 2025
Degradation of the Desperate Daughter.
That could be the theme song to my life.
Always second choice. Second best. Second born.
Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile.
He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down.
No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way.
And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done.
I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back.
I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones.
He wants the world to believe our love is real and not bargained, but he says even that’s not enough.
He wants me to convince him.
What was supposed to be a simple arrangement spirals into something more, and before I know it, I’m caught in his web, secrets spinning all around me.
I hate him as much as I crave him, but as enemies close in from the most unlikely of places, I realize something.
No one is allowed to hurt my husband.
Except, of course … me.
Holy Guacamole Batman!!! Where do I even begin?!
Boston Revenaw always thought of herself as less than, as the weaker twin to Rocklin. So when an opportunity arose to marry the only guy who rivals her father she took it.
She went to Enzo, contract in hand, and they formed a marriage of convenience. Their union would tie the two together, ending the fued between Boston's father, and Enzo Fikile. He may have been the most eligible bachelor in their world, and the biggest threat, but now she was his.
Boston is now engaged to the man the rest of the world fears, and there is no going back.
What was supposed to be a simple arrangement, ends up spiraling into something more. Boston hates Enzo as much as she craves him. But with secrets and enemies closing in from the most unlikely of places, she has to decide if she will hold on to the life she gave up, making a deal with the devil, or accept her new life, and place at the drvil's side.
Holy Taledo Batman. This book was every-freaking-thing and I absolutely posolutely loved every single second of it.
Boston always thought she was second best in everything growing up. The second choice. The weaker twin. Her sister was the perfect daughter her dad dreamed of. She became one of the Greyson Girls, and was set to take her father's place when the time was right. So Boston rebelled. She was rash, impulsive. She did things without thinking them all the way through- which is how she found herself at the hands of Enzo Fikile. Sure, she hunted him down, drew up the contract, and signed her life away to her father's enemy in hopes of bringing peace between the two. But she knew, if she didn't act, she would have been forced to marry someone her father chose for her.
She may not have been strong like Rocklin who was set to lead the mafia family, but she was still strong and resilient in her own way. And I loved everything about her. She wasn't as weak as others thought her to be. She wasn't perfect, she was impulsive and bratty and had a psycho side, but she was real. And I loved the banter between her and Enzo, and the build up and tension.
Enzo was dark, and ruthless, and possessive of what was his - which now included Boston. She was his, and he wasn't letting her go.
I loved Bad Little Bride and I can't wait to see what is next for the Girls of Greyson world!!
