From bestselling author Lucy Smoke comes a new dark mafia romcom full of high heat, hilarious banter, and a marriage-of-convenience love story, perfect for fans of Butcher & Blackbird and Rook & Rebel.
Daisy Turner is a broke, single recent college graduate who would say yes to just about anything if it helps her climb out of the pile of debt she's in. Which is why she agrees to fill in for her roommate as a waitress catering a high-end private wedding. Her expectations are low-at most she'll get a small stack of cash and a free meal, right? Wrong. Bad luck has a way of finding her, and so it's no surprise that she would become an accomplice to a murder. Okay, not an accomplice but definitely a witness.
Turns out the wedding is an arranged marriage between two rival crime families, and the woman who died was supposed to be the bride. As the sole witness and the only living, breathing woman within feet of the angry and ruggedly handsome soon-to-be husband, Daisy knows she has to do something. Unfortunately offering to bake him a sympathy casserole isn't what he was looking for. Sorry for your loss, also not good enough. She's sure he'll kill her on the spot but instead he shakes his head and gives an ultimatum.
Death or marriage.
Of course Daisy chooses to marry the man. Marriages can be annulled, but there's no coming back from death...
Lucy Smoke, also known as Lucinda Dark for her fantasy works, has a master's degree in English and is a self-proclaimed creative chihuahua. She enjoys feeding her wanderlust, cover addiction, as well as her face.
When she's not on a never-ending quest to find the perfect milkshake, she lives and works in the southern United States with her beloved fur-baby, Hiro, and her family and friends.
