The Mobster's Secret (Lords of New York, #2)

Elena

I’ve never understood what the big deal is about falling in love. Why do women want that so badly? History is filled with stories of women who gave their all to a man only to be betrayed in the end. No, I’ll leave all thoughts of love and romance to my sisters. I just want to focus on finishing my doctorate and starting my career. But when my father reveals his plans for me, my only chance of escaping one dangerous man is to seek safety in the arms of another. Roarke isn’t just any man, though—he’s my bodyguard. And I’m starting to realize the draw I feel toward him might just be love. But when my bodyguard becomes my husband to protect me, can I convince him to stay after the danger has passed? Or am I just as destined for heartbreak as all the women I’ve read about in my history books?

Roarke

I’m in love with my client. I have been since the moment I first saw her picture. She’s off limits and I’m damaged goods, tormented by nightmares of warfare and violence. I’m not worthy of a woman like Elena. So, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that being her bodyguard, her protector, is the closest I’ll ever get to making her mine. That is until she asks me to marry her. But her proposal isn’t about love; it’s as practical as she is. The only way to escape an arranged marriage to a psychopath is to marry me instead. I can’t turn her down though, so I’ll just have to figure out how I’m going to keep her once the dust settles. Because with my ring on her finger, there is no doubt. Elena is mine. Til death do us part.
