I've always dreamed of romance, but this wedding is strictly business.

Sofiya

I've spent years hidden away to protect my father from the shame of having a defective daughter. The head of the Bratva can't be associated with weakness—and to him, that's all I am.

That is until a marriage alliance gives him the opportunity to finally be rid of me.

As I head down the aisle towards my mysterious husband, I hope I'm moving towards love and freedom. But Matteo makes it clear he wants nothing to do with me.

I wish I could return his coldness, but the dangerous Don sets my body ablaze whenever he's near.

Matteo

My life has been defined by betrayal.

A family traitor murdered my parents, and I've carried their blood on my hands all these years. I learned long ago not to open my heart.

As head of the Five Families, I've always controlled my city, but with enemies rising up on all sides, a marriage alliance is my only way forward. Except my bride is not what I expected—and now she's consuming my every thought.

When my trust is shattered again, I'll go to any means necessary to protect the Family.

His Tesoro is a spicy, dual first-person POV mafia romance with an age gap, arranged marriage, disabled heroine, and jealous/possessive hero. This book is a standalone that ends in a HEA. For mature listeners.

Wish he earned her forgiveness more and it was explained more but really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. Sofiya wasn't the usual perceived perfect FMC and yet was strong and capable. Matteo had such emotional trauma from the death of his parents and yet managed to fall for Sofiya.

There were some great spicy scenes, and the connection between Matteo and Sofiya was so heartfelt. Throw in a plot twist and betrayal, and this was a great experience.

I look forward to the other books in this series.

I read on Kindle and read along on Audible with great dual style audio with Teddy Hamilton and Lee Daniels.

The connection between Matteo and Sofiya was a soul-felt experience

This is an absolutely beautiful audiobook that it includes a FMC with a Chronic Illness and disability and MMC who doesn’t want to be married to her and doesn’t know about her disability until the day he marries her. And I finally feel seen I do not have the same condition but do have a chronic illness and I am glad to have found and Author and her books that include this. Highly recommend.
