And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

Patrick Mahoney erased my bloodline in one brutal night. His answer to my father's betrayal? Total annihilation. But he missed one. Me. Instead of finishing the job, he's claimed me—bound me to him with a ring instead of a bullet. Now I'm trapped in a marriage forged in blood and vengeance with my family's executioner.

They call me Sophie ‘The Handler’ Havers at my job as a criminal prosecutor because I’ve never lost a case. There’s nothing I can’t handle.

He tells me that if he had things his way, he’d be my husband already.
