Destined

Elena Morelli loves two things—her family and baking. She’s been in the kitchen since before she could reach the counter, learning side by side with her nonna and her father.

The Morelli legacy was strong. Until her weak-hearted father passed, and it all crumbled under the cruel and callous grip of her brother, Enzo. To secure his place in the Italian mafia, Enzo forces Elena into a marriage she never wanted, tying her to a powerful family for his own gain.

But destiny has other plans.

Oisín Callahan—ruthless Irish Mob leader, feared across continents, and rumored to leave no one alive—has been watching Elena for years. Waiting. Wanting. And on the day she’s meant to be handed off like a bargaining chip, he makes his move.

He takes her.

For better or worse, until death do them part—but in Oisín’s eyes, not even death could steal her away.

Because Elena Morelli is his.

And he never lets go of what’s his.
