About this audiobook

A debt she never chose. A husband with a secret older than the Family name. A bargain that becomes the truest thing she’s ever had. Elena Rossi built her whole life around one small, stubborn thing: her mother’s bakery, kept alive on thin margins and thinner sleep, the only inheritance her father’s gambling never managed to touch. Then two men in dark suits walk in after closing and inform her that she owes the Wolfe Family four hundred thousand dollars, and that the Don wants to see her personally. Dante Wolfe is exactly what the city whispers he is: billionaire on the surface, the last organized crime dynasty underneath, a man who has never once needed to raise his voice to get exactly what he wants. He offers Elena a bargain instead of a debt collector: marry him for one year, seal an alliance the underworld is watching closely, and walk away with her father’s debt erased completely. She says yes to save her grandmother and the only life she has left. She does not expect to fall for the man on the other side of the contract. She definitely does not expect to learn that the empire she has just married into is not only criminal, it is a pack, and that Dante’s wolf marked her as his mate the moment he saw her. As a rival Family closes in and a traitor inside Dante’s own bloodline feeds their enemies exactly what they need to destroy everything he has built, Elena has to decide how much of this impossible, dangerous new world she is willing to risk everything for, including her heart. RUTHLESS CLAIM is a slow-burn, marriage-of-convenience paranormal romance about the bargains that become real, the families we build on purpose, and the particular courage it takes to choose someone freely once every obligation that first bound you has fallen away. Perfect for readers who love possessive alpha heroes with soft hearts underneath the control, heroines who refuse to be managed into smallness, and romances where the danger is as real as the desire.
