This audio just made this story even better! Bringing a book I already loved to life and giving these characters voices just makes my soul happy!
If you love Mafia let me introduce you to the McGowan’s of Scottish Mafia family.

Sacrifice the one for the many.
Ester is not having it and runs away leaving behind her family, but her bodyguard Alec is after her and will do anything to bring her back.
What he doesn’t expect is for Ester to fight back and burn his car and every means he has, she will stop at nothing to escape her arranged marriage.
Highly recommend
