Noemi was speechless since her father had her mother killed six months before. She literally hasn't spoken a word to anyone.
When she woke up in the hospital after the car wreck, she knew speaking a word about what happened would put her life in danger. So, using the doctor's explanations that the injury to her neck from the seatbelt, she pretended to be mute. She pretended not to remember.
She hid her voice along with her fury. She was only allowed out of the home that had become her prison once a day for coffee. Under guard. Never saying a word.
Even when the seductive voice of a stranger spoke in her ear that her routine was too obvious. She was too shocked by the gorgeous man to pay attention to his actual words. How did he know her routine?
Instead of being there to help his family when the Albanians killed his Uncle outside one of their clubs, he had been at dinner across town, meeting the mother who had given him up at birth. Uncomfortable didn't even begin to explain him, adopted into a family in the Irish mob, and meeting with a mother who was married to the head of the Italian mafia.
But his Uncle Jimmy urged him to use the connection to ally the Irish and the Italians, and when they told him the best way was to merge the families by marriage. Connor wasn't a fan of getting married, but he owed his family everything. So he agreed as long as the bride was of his choosing.
He knew immediately who he would choose when photos of his bride choices were placed before him. That she was mute was an added bonus.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Noemi has stayed mute about what she knows because of her father's very real threats, and her new husband is shocked when he finds out his wife is not mute.
This mafia romance is action-packed and full of danger. It has surprising twists that devastate Connor when he finds out the identity of his birth father and the time that he had lost. If you like smoking hot mafia romance full of suspense and intrigue, you will love this book.
