Tempted and Bound by Betrayal

Lauren

My father arranged a marriage for me when I was sixteen. Now that I'm close to my 18th birthday, I've been uprooted from my life to live closer to my fianc , Lorenzo. Something my father forgot to mention is that I'm marrying a mafia boss There's no way out of this marriage; I've tried. I'm supposed to be getting to know Lorenzo better, but I can't seem to keep my eyes off Romeo, the bodyguard he assigned to me. It begins with quick glances and harmless flirtations but transforms into much more once we realize we have feelings for each other. Oh, did I mention Lorenzo considers Romeo his brother? I have a feeling if we want a happily ever after, it's going to cost us everything.

Romeo

Lorenzo, my brother, my best friend, my don, assigned me to keep his fianc safe. It's a simple task, really, and not one that I wanted. So, what happens when she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I have to watch her 24/7? Yeah, I'm just a man, and not a good one at that. I continue to fight my feelings for her until it gets to be too much. She makes it clear she wants me, and I'm having trouble watching Lorenzo even be in the same room as her. So, it's time to make a decision. Is our love story going to end as a tragedy, or will it end with the ultimate betrayal and sacrifice from both of us?
