Jude (Six Sinners, #1)

A marriage of inconvenience where the brooding alpha Rockstar MMC is disinterested/cold at the start and learns the errors of his ways when the FMC leaves him. Now, he’ll do anything to get her back.

Proper yearning, growly protection, groveling done well, a real modern marriage crisis, and a happy ever after.

I went from famous TV actress to broke factory worker on the run from the mob.

Fleeing my cartel minder through a crowded airport, I run and crash straight into a towering wall of pure muscle and ink.

That stranger is Jude Valenti.

Lead singer of Six Sinners, Jude is a brooding rock god with a voice that brings millions to their knees. He’s also ex-military, highly lethal, and terrifying to everyone in his path, including me.

When my pursuer draws a gun, Jude disarms them with effortless brutality. However, the mafia are still after me.
To keep me alive, Jude offers me a high-stakes marriage of inconvenience.

Three days later, I have a massive diamond on my finger and a grumpy husband whose icy, dismissive silence leaves me cold. I’m just an obligation to protect, taken for granted while he pines for his ex.

After months of surviving his hot-and-cold temperament, his scorn, and his ultimate betrayal, I break. I pack my bags, drop my ring, and walk out.

That's the exact moment the cold, unyielding rockstar loses his mind.

With his detached walls shattered, Jude realizes his catastrophic mistake. Beneath his harsh exterior lies a savage, obsessive yearning, and now, he’ll tear the world apart to drag me back to his side.

Will I guard my shattered heart and let him burn in the wreckage of his own making, or will his feral, unhinged grovel melt the walls I’ve built to survive him?
