I said "I do" to a dream. I woke up to a nightmare.

I’ve spent half of my life in an Italian convent, counting the days until my father summons me to Chicago to marry my childhood sweetheart.

I’ve dreamed of sweet kisses and happily ever afters. What I get is a trap.

The man who lifts my veil isn’t the boy from my letters. He is Giovanni Marchetti—a dangerous mafia capo with silver at his temples and ice in his veins. A man who has spent decades ruling the criminal underworld, who is as ruthless as I am innocent.

Our vows aren’t a promise of love. They are the beginning of my end.

Giovanni steals me from the life I was promised, dragging me to an isolated island off the Italian coast. He doesn’t want a wife. He wants revenge. Now, I am at the center of a war I don’t understand, held captive in a palace that hides as many secrets as it does threats to my life.

I hate him. Crave him. He’s the devil who has claimed my future—and the one who is going to punish me for my past.

Stolen Sanctuary is a standalone dark mafia romance featuring a possessive silver fox and the innocent bride who refuses to be his lamb. Expect high steam, dark themes, and a morally grey antihero who will burn the world down to keep what’s his.

It is the third novel in the Omertà Brotherhood series and can be read as a Standalone. No cheating. Guaranteed HEA. For TWs visit jezebelthorne.com.
