In the shadowy underworld of the mafia, lives are twisted, and destinies are forced upon the unwilling. "His Innocent Virgin Bride" is a heart - pounding dark mafia romance that will leave you breathless.
Emma Mancini, a young and ambitious woman in her second year of university with dreams of becoming a doctor, finds her world shattered. In the cold of Toronto, her family is in turmoil. Her father is battling Stage 4 cancer, a secret she's sworn to keep from her sisters. But this is just the beginning of her nightmare.
One day, three dangerous - looking men, led by Bernardo Virga, a powerful figure in the Sicilian mafia, barge into her home. Virga reveals a terrifying plan - to marry her off to Don Buscetta to settle a long - standing feud between two mafia clans. Emma is horrified. She has no desire to be part of this violent world. She tries to resist, but Virga's threats are too great. He knows about her father's illness and will stop at nothing, even threatening to kill her father and his nurse if she doesn't comply. With no other choice, she reluctantly agrees to go with them to Sicily.
On the other side of the ocean, Giacomo Buscetta, the new boss of his clan, has his own problems. He's a fighter, not a diplomat, and has no intention of following the orders of the older mafia bosses. When the idea of marrying Emma Mancini is first proposed during a tense meeting with the Ravazzani clan, he firmly refuses. But Virga won't take no for an answer.
Giacomo has his own secrets. He's been protecting his sister, Viviana, and when Virga discovers this and uses it as leverage, Giacomo is backed into a corner. He's a man who has always been underestimated because of his rough exterior, but he's far from stupid. He's determined to protect his sister at all costs.
When Emma and Giacomo finally meet under the most dire of circumstances, they are both pawns in a game they don't want to play. Emma, with her big brown eyes full of fear, and Giacomo, with his anger and resentment at being forced into this situation. He knows she's too young, too innocent, and too focused on her studies to deserve this. But they have no way out.
Virga's demands are clear - marry her, consummate the marriage, and get her pregnant within six months, or he will destroy everything Giacomo holds dear. As they stand there, with a priest present, they are on the brink of a union that neither of them wants.
This dark mafia romance is filled with tension, danger, and the impossible choices that come with being part of the criminal underworld. It's a story of love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, and the lengths one will go to protect their family. Will Emma and Giacomo find a way to break free from the chains that bind them, or will they be consumed by the darkness of the mafia life they've been thrust into? Prepare to be swept away in this thrilling and passionate tale of "His Innocent Virgin Bride".
