The Mafia Lord’s Ruthless Desires
“You want me to what?” Cassiel blinked.
“Take my place,” Cassie whispered. “Marry the Mafia Lord. Just for a little while. I promise I will come back to save you once I am able to gather enough money to free you.”
Cassiel Williams never imagined his life would shatter with one desperate plea from his twin sister. To save her from marrying Gordon Gustavo—South’s most feared cartel king—in exchange for the freedom of their father who abused them both, she asks Cassiel to cross-dress, say “I do,” and buy her time.
“You think they’ll fall for this?”
“You look more like me than I do,” she cries. “Just don’t let him touch you. I promise to come back for you Cassiel.”
But nothing about life in the Mafia palace is that simple. The brutal Gustavo grows suspicious of his distant, devout “bride” who refuses his sexual advancements. Whispers spread that he may have married a man and Enemy cartel plan to leverage on this rumour. Cassiel is walking a tightrope of danger, identity, and secrets.
“Strip,” Gustavo growls.
“No. I can’t.”
“You dare lie to me in my own house? Since you decided to take the place of a woman, I will mercilessly treat you like a bitch”
When the truth explodes, Cassiel should be dead. Instead, Gustavo locks him away, torn between fury, hidden desires and love. What began as deception twists into obsession.
And when Cassiel uncovers a plot to assassinate Gustavo, he faces the ultimate choice:
“Why save me?” Gustavo demands.
“Because I stopped pretending a long time ago,” Cassiel says. “And I don’t want to lose you.”
