The unforgettable conclusion of International bestselling author Maggie Cole's highly-received secret society, drenched in dark undertones, next-generation Mafia series about frenemies entering a fake marriage to climb to the top of the Underworld.
When Brax became an intruder inside the Underworld, I shouldn't have let my attraction overrule my brain.
I should have killed him.
Now, our fake marriage is the only way I can claim my seat at the table.
He's arrogant, sinfully gorgeous, and infuriates me any chance he gets. We've been frenemies since day one, always circling, always striking, and never trusting the other.
Somehow, pretending to love him is easy. His filthy looks, starving kisses, and possessive touches keep making me forget the truth about our marriage.
But it's just a game we're playing for power. And I won't be weak. I won't fall for my husband.
Even if every touch makes me crave him.
Even if every lie tastes like truth.
Even if the only thing more dangerous than trusting him is the Omni trying to unravel our marriage.
Bride by Ritual is a standalone with interconnected characters, and book three of The Underworld series. This dark, secret society, Mafia, frenemies, fake marriage/marriage of convenience romance is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.
