A Mafia Bride for Christmas
A Holiday Debt Bride Romance
One debt. One Christmas Eve deadline. One marriage neither of them wanted.
When Emily Carter’s father loses everything to a dangerous man, her little bakery and her family home are the price. Nicholas Vale offers her a way out: marry him by Christmas Eve, and the debt disappears.
Emily agrees to save her family. She makes her own rules for the bargain, and she means to keep her heart out of it.
But Nicholas isn’t the cold man the town whispers about. His grand house on the hill holds locked doors and a blue tin of secrets. It also holds a fire that took her mother’s life years ago, and the truth behind it is tied to his family’s past. The more Emily learns, the harder it gets to tell who is protecting her and who is hiding something.
As snow falls on Bellweather and the wedding bells draw closer, the bargain turns into something real. Emily must decide whether to trust the man who holds her future before the truth comes out.
A sweet, slow-burn contract-marriage romance with a Christmas setting and a family mystery. Expect secrets, found family, and a happy ending.
