Where Quiet Hearts Scream

Watching my sister marry her soulmate should have been the happiest day of my life, but instead, it was the day my life ended.
The handsome hotel guest who caught me from falling, listened to my dreams and spun me into a web with his rough thumb and whispered words, is not the innocent man I thought he was. He is someone else entirely.
And as it turns out, he never wanted me—he wanted Boston. So he and my brother-in-law made a deal: Boston’s underworld for my hand in marriage.
Now I’m engaged to man I don’t know, whose icy gaze can freeze the warmest of hearts, and whose roared threats can make the most fearsome bow down. When he finally sees me as more than a piece of collateral, cold screams in the dead of night turn to heated gasps in dark doorways.
But scars run deep beneath the Band-Aid. Will our marriage of convenience remain just that? Or will his persistence peel away my protective layers, allowing me to finally live my truth?
