God of Pain By Rina Kent

He was forged in pain. Now, he’ll be her ruin—or her salvation. Adrian Veles is a king of shadows, heir to a mafia empire built on cruelty and control. To secure his legacy, he needs a wife. I, Isla Thorne, am the pawn sold to him in a bargain I never made. He expects my obedience, my fear, my tears. But I give him none of those. Scarred by my own past, I understand pain intimately, and I refuse to let him break me. Instead of cowering, I challenge him. Instead of fleeing, I stand my ground. My defiance ignites a war within him—a battle between the monster he’s always been and the man he could become. In a marriage bound by blood and vengeance, we are each other’s punishment and obsession. The question is, which will destroy us first: the pain we inflict, or the love we never saw coming?
