Brutal Prince
Romance
Description
Chicago’s Griffin and Gallo crime families have fought for generations, but Aida Gallo’s reckless intrusion at a Griffin party threatens to turn their rivalry into open war when she accidentally burns the mansion’s library. Their fathers impose a solution: Aida must marry Callum Griffin, the disciplined heir she despises. Callum expects to control his rebellious bride; Aida answers by poisoning him on their wedding night. Forced to present a united front while their families maneuver around them, the newlyweds turn domestic life into a contest of provocation, pride, and shifting leverage. As hostility develops alongside attraction, Brutal Prince combines arranged marriage, criminal power struggles, and combative romance in a story driven by two people equally unwilling to surrender.
