Blurb:
Nothing will stop the Bratva mob boss from taking
back what’s his, and once he has her, he’ll do anything to keep her…
Viviana “Vine” Carducci’s and Anton Avdonin’s marriage was decided more than two decades ago. The deal between leading mafia families has more on the line than anyone knew, even if the Bratva and Cosa Nostra shouldn’t mix. When Vine’s family is murdered and she’s left with nothing more than her grief to survive the mob world alone, she believes the arrangement won’t see the light of day.
Anton can’t allow the one woman he was supposed to love get away. At the possibility of her death, he steps in to save her with guns blazing, knowing exactly what it might cost him: everything. But it’s been nearly a decade since their last meeting, and he can’t help but wonder if the woman he took back is the same girl he fell for all those years before.
Protected and loved, Vine is unable to forget their shared moments a lifetime ago, or the future she knows they’re owed. When an old flame of Anton’s shows up to rip the veil off the carefully constructed secrets he’d been hiding, she learns that nothing about her life is as it seems. But, that’s nothing compared to the bomb about to blow. Can Vine see beyond the pain and blood to take what she always wanted? And just how far will the mob prince go to keep her safe?

In a world where violence, deceit, and greed reign,
your life is not your own, and sometimes, love has to be arranged.
Maya's Review:
Wow. Just wow.
I'm in love. In love with Anton. In love with the whole freaking story.
A few week's ago I read a mafia romance. It had all the right elements, a love story, suspense and violence. But the story lacked soul for me that I couldn't be bothered to read the rest of the books in the series.
Well, I can tell you now. The Arrangement has soul, plenty of soul. It is a beautifully well-written story about finding love that's always been there despite darkness and violence.
Let's be clear about one thing. Anton is no choir boy. He is a crime boss and Viviana is the daughter of a dead crime boss. But I couldn't help falling in love with these characters. The author wrote them so well, you feel connected to them and wanting them to get a happy ending.
Dare I also say, this story is freaking hot. You read it and you'll be needing a cold shower or seeking alternative solutions.
Bethany-Kris has joined our authors-to-watch list. This story rubbed off on me so much, I'm now swearing like a freaking sailor. Thank you, Anton. LOL. Absolutely fabulous!
