The Beast's Broken Beauty

A Mafia Romance

De: Elle Love

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

I claimed her for revenge. I kept her for vengeance. But somehow, she claimed me back.

Being known as "The Beast" has its perks in our world. No one crosses you. No one questions you. Everyone fears you. Perfect. Just how I want it. Then Isabella waltzed back into my life at that damn auction, and everything went to hell.

I won her. Married her. Locked her away. I had it all planned out: make her suffer like I suffered when her betrayal cost me my mother's life. Simple. Ruthless. Justified.

But nothing about Isabella is simple. Not the way she defies me at every turn. Not how she bonds with my daughter I never knew about. Not how her scars, both visible and hidden, mirror my own in ways I never expected.

The stakes are suddenly higher than ever. Greek mafia lords are circling like sharks. Her father pulls strings from the shadows. My need to protect Isabella wars with the darkness still eating me alive.

Every touch, every taste of her is like a drug I can't quit. I tell myself it's just desire. Primal. Possessive. Meaningless. But when she looks at me with those eyes that see past the Beast to the man beneath, something buried inside me claws its way to the surface.

The world thinks I own her. Truth is, she owns a piece of me I thought died in flames years ago.

I claimed her as my wife. But somehow, she became my redemption.
