Jacob
Loyalty
My father is dying, and I've been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob's leader. I may not want a wife, but I'll kill anyone who tries to harm her.
I only hope she doesn't expect love in our marriage. I can't--won't--love her. Not ever. I don't have it in me.

Duty
That's all my life has been. Then, my grandfather signs a marriage contract, and I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again I'm bound by duty.
I've always been invisible--the person who fades into the background--except soon my new husband begins to see me.
He's a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?
