Dance of Thorns by Jagger Cole

I’m forced to marry my dead best friend’s fiancé.
Most people call me a freak. Damaged goods. Addict.
The outcast daughter of the Marchetti crime family.
A black sheep with a dark soul.
But then one night, I fall into a darker one.
Bane Antonov, the cold, villainously beautiful crown prince of the Antonov Bratva.
A man covered in scars and ink.
A man who was supposed to marry my now dead and buried best friend.
The night we crash together, we talk each other off the literal edge.
I should’ve jumped.
Because somehow, Bane knows my every dark secret. Every scar. Every inky black desire.
He’s a villain and a monster.
The thing is, I might be, too.
There are things I don’t remember.
Like why he hates me. Why I crave his venomous touch and poisonous lips anyway.
Now, he has me locked in his cage with his ring on my finger.
We’re in a war, ‘til death do us part.
But we’ll see who falls first.
And it’s a
Long
Way
Down.

Dance of Thorns is a standalone dark mafia, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers romance with a smart, untamable black cat heroine, and an ultra possessive morally gray hero with “look at her and I’ll unalive you” energy. Readers are advised to read the TW inside. No cliffhanger; HEA included.
