Pleasure is what I enjoy the most. I can have anything in the world that I want, as many men with power do, but with power comes great responsibility.
I'm to do as I'm told if I want to keep my life the way I like it, so a contract was presented to me . . . but not any type of contract--a proposal.
I'll marry the woman he picked for me, although it doesn't mean we'll have any sort of connection other than in the eyes of the law. I don't expect it, but I will welcome it if something does transpire between the two of us.
With enemies to keep at bay, nothing is for certain.

I lost the love of my life ten years ago, and now I'm being thrust into a marriage I never wanted.
I agreed to help find a prominent Irish woman, but in doing so I didn't realize the magnitude of what I was agreeing to do. I was to marry a complete stranger. This woman is a mafia princess, who happens to be my boss's wife's sister.
Alison was sent off to an abbey for her own safety by her father, though I don't believe her father was concerned about her safety. He only cared about one thing—the price of her head, or her virginity.
The old man only cares about having her marry a man of importance. Luckily for my boss, I seem to be a man of prominence.
I did this as a favor to my best friend, to make sure the sisters could be reunited and not separated even further. Though, when it comes to guiding her, I’m unsure if she’ll submit to the type of man I am, or if she’ll flee like a feral horse. I’m as dark as they come in the bedroom, and her little virgin soul might not be able to handle all of me.

A baby was left on my doorstep, with a note saying it’s mine.
It’s something out of a movie, but it’s not fictional. It’s my life. I hired someone to confirm this wasn’t just a big hoax, and the baby’s mine.
In my family, we take care of our own, regardless of the circumstances.
This child will be well taken care of for the rest of its life, and as time passes, I’ve found new purpose—being a father.
I gave up on the fact I’d find the birth mother, given one night stands are my forte. That is, until I see her hanging out with my baby’s nanny on her night off.
I know we’ve slept together and I’ll be damned if I don’t at least see if she could be the mother.
If she is, I’ll rip her to shreds for what she did.
Forced to marry a traitor's daughter,
I'll shed blood to make sure it doesn't happen.

As a child I was put on a silver platter and my parents were presented with marriage opportunities. Many other mafiosos were trying to secure their daughter's hand in marriage to me, a cousin of the Irish Boss. Eventually, they accepted one. The only problem is, I've never intended on being with one woman. It's never been something I've been interested in.
Sure, I’ve seen the way those close to me have found happiness, but it isn’t for me.
I'm dead set on not being tied down, even if the woman of my dreams comes out from the shadows when I least expect it. She may be beautiful in every way, but she’s not meant to be mine.
Beau
She was everything I wanted in my life, but I felt I didn’t deserve her. Blood coated my hands, both figuratively and literally.
I wasn’t the type of man she should ever be with. She needed someone better, someone who wasn’t like me. So, I set her free.
It broke me to do it, but I had to. At least it’s what I thought at the time.
Now I find out she’s pregnant, and I’m certain that child is mine. I’ll do whatever I need to put our family back together, but more importantly, I’ll make amends for the pain I’ve caused.
