A Bride For Killian Bandini

**Evelyn Karamazov** For twenty-three years, I've been immersed in the ruthless world of organized crime, groomed to lead with a strict hand. However, the path to power comes with a steep price – a marriage based on political maneuvering rather than love. It's not a choice I desire, but in this life, sacrifices are the norm. I'm prepared to make one, choosing the familiar devil over the unknown angel. Yet, every sacrifice carries a consequence, and I won't shy away from demanding what's rightfully mine. **Killian Bandini** I've carried the weight of sixteen years' worth of revenge, drowning in nightmares and fueled by the burning need to right a wrong. Now that my father's legacy is mine, the time has come to collect debts. Those who wronged me will not escape unscathed; their actions will be met with a costly lesson in blood. When the most formidable and infuriating man to ever grace the scene invades my wedding, coldly shooting down my intended, and holding everyone hostage, demanding I become his wife, chaos ensues. Killian Bandini believes in taking without asking. But if he thinks I'll submit quietly to his control, he's gravely mistaken. Though I must marry him, I assure you, it won't be a passive arrangement. I am more than a pawn; I am a queen, and this game of power and manipulation is only just beginning.
