challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

4.5

4.5 stars 
CC does it again! I was able to read this as an arc, and from chapter one, I was hooked! I immediately fell in love with Emelia and how brave she was. Her whole life, she was used as a punching bag by her family physically and mentally. Now she has to be in an arranged marriage with the most ruthless crime boss shw just trading one monster for another.
NICO  to me was that ultimate alphahole that feeds odd of fear and respect, and he wants nothing less in his bride. They both have their own plan of what this marriage will turn out to be. Their intensity of hate was consuming. How much they loathed each other but were drawn was so magnetic. I love enemies to lovers, but add in arranged marriage is pure gold. I was constantly tense in this book because of so many variables and secrets. The smexy scene jeezus. Cc is always a one click author for me, and this book did not disappoint.
