Mafia Daddy's Christmas Bride

The Naughty List: Mafia Edition #1

by Ajme Williams

He married me to protect the family.
I said yes to stay alive.

Roman Ginetti — La Corona’s most feared enforcer.
Widower. Single dad.
Forty-five to my twenty-five.
Twice my age. Infinitely more dangerous.

Our marriage was supposed to be business.
Watch me. Control me. Kill me if necessary.

Until he catches me with the burner phone on our wedding night.
“Who are you texting, Isabella?”
His voice drops to a lethal whisper as he pins me to the wall—
one hand locking my wrists, the other at my throat.
Not choking. Claiming.

I should be terrified.
Instead, I forget every reason I’m supposed to hate him.

He’s the monster who might have killed my mother.
The man everyone fears.
The father who makes Christmas cookies with his little girl.
And the only person who’s ever made me feel safe.

But this world doesn’t forgive secrets.
Not under the mistletoe.
Not beneath the twinkling lights.
Not when you fall for your captor.

Because this Christmas…
I’m hiding something that will destroy us both.
I’m carrying his baby.

Merry Christmas, Daddy.

Love Built on Trust, Communication and Understanding -
Isabella wasn’t pleased when she was forced into an arranged marriage to Roman, but she accepted her fate and decided to use it as a way to help with her quest. Roman wasn’t really happy about having to marry Isabella, as he still hadn’t gotten over the loss of his first wife, but he started having feelings for her the more time they spent together. However, it seemed that every time Roman and Isabella build a bit of trust between them, something will happen that will take them back to the beginning.

Unfortunately, not long after Isabella received important information pertaining to her quest and she also discovered her life was about to change, she found herself in a dangerous situation. Luckily, Roman went into beast mode when he found out what happened and who was behind it, he did everything possible to not only rescue Isabella, but also dealt with the threat on her life permanently. Isabella and Roman used the opportunity to finally confess their feelings for each other and agree to embark on a future together.

This was an intriguing romance story with a few twists and some emotionally challenging moments, that I was unprepared for and took me through a myriad of emotions, as I went through this thrilling reading adventure. I found myself unable to take a break from the moment I started reading this must read book and I also didn’t want it to end. Grab a copy of this book now and you would enjoy reading it as much as I did.

A forced marriage. A buried truth. A love they never saw coming.

Isabella never plans to marry a mafia enforcer. But when survival means saying I do to Roman Ginetti, she steps into a world of power, secrets, and control. He’s older, dangerous, and completely in charge. The marriage is meant to contain her. A threat disguised as a vow.

Roman doesn’t want a wife, especially not one with ties to the FBI and questions he’d rather stay buried. But once Isabella enters his home, something shifts. She’s sharp, strong, and more than anyone expects. Watching her becomes wanting her, and keeping his distance stops being an option.

As they navigate La Corona’s violent politics and tangled loyalties, the lines between enemy and partner blur. Secrets come to light. Trust is hard-earned. And something real builds in the silence between shared grief and fierce desire.

They're pulled into a future neither saw coming. The stakes are high, the danger is constant, but love refuses to be ignored. What starts as survival turns into something they’ll both fight to keep. This was never supposed to be real. Until it is.

Isabella grows from cautious and grieving to fearless and clear-eyed, finally reclaiming her voice. Roman lets down walls he never thought he could, trading cold control for real connection. Their bond is forged through mistrust and pain, but it holds strong.

A dark, steamy, emotional mafia romance with age gap tension, arranged marriage stakes, enemies to lovers heat, and a grumpy single dad with a hidden soft side. It explores power dynamics, trauma recovery, loyalty, grief, identity, and redemption. It's about choosing love when you shouldn’t, finding trust where it was broken, and building something real right where everything fell apart, at Christmas.

The Elevator Pitch: A scorching mafia romance where a ruthless enforcer claims a bride he was never meant to keep. What starts as a deadly arrangement twists into obsession, secrets, betrayal, and a love that hits harder than any threat. Dark, intense, and deliciously emotional, with danger on every page and heat in every glance.

To save her life she is forced to marry Roman.She is totally against it and doesn't want too but Roman tells its him or death! The FBI is still nosing around Isabella and she doesn't know who to trust and she is so confused and lost! But Roman fines out once again she is keeping secerts from him again and now he says to stay away from his daughter Angelica and that hurts.She tries her best but someone or something is trying keep her from finding the information she is after.Now Roman is meant with mistrust from the Don's and he is walking on thin ice where Isabella is concern,and now he realizes she means more than his job and he only thinks of Angelica and Isabella.Now he is being rip apart by the Don's he gets a call from his daughter who is in tears.Roman may of found the mole and the information that Isabella wants but first he must save her!This story is filled with greed,lies and alot of mistrust but there is a light at the end of lane!

This Mafia romance completely pulled me in from the very first chapter. It’s not just a love story—it’s also a twisting, high-stakes mystery about uncovering the truth behind the heroine’s mother’s murder. The conspiracies woven throughout the plot are unique, intense, and constantly keep you guessing. The story arc is unlike anything I’ve read in the genre, which made it even more thrilling.

Even though it’s a full-length novel, I devoured the entire book in one sitting because I simply could not put it down. It was one of those “just one more chapter… okay, one more…” nights that suddenly becomes 3 a.m. The tension is perfectly balanced with the romance, and the emotional stakes stay high until the very end.

The story is set around Christmas, so there are festive elements sprinkled in, but it’s absolutely not limited to holiday reading. No matter the season, it will still keep you on edge and turning pages as fast as you can.

If you enjoy Mafia romance with strong suspense, emotional depth, and a mystery that grips you from start to finish, this one is definitely worth picking up.

A husband for Christmas by MeemsAngel82

This was another great book by Ajme! And this was right on time, A Mafia Christmas read? That's right up my alley. The book is a full one, she gives us, as always, a full storyline that has twists and well rounded characters to go with them. His little girl might want a tree this season but the adults in her life want answers to questions like murder.

Wanting answers to questions on why her mom died, she turned to the Feds, something mafia families just don't do. To save her life, her father had her marry into The Family.

The plot has a lot going for it. Not just the marriage, but a murder that needs explanation. A bonding between his little girl and herself. I love it when the child is actually included in the story and her interactions were great. The two leads were also great together and I appreciate her refusal to let things go. This was done well and the writing is detailed. A great holiday mafia read!

Isabella’s mother was murdered. In a desperate search for answers, she spoke to an FBI agent, an act that should have signed her death warrant as the daughter of a La Corona don.
Instead, the four families offered mercy: marry Roman Moreau, the ruthless enforcer who once served the most powerful don, and live.
Roman, a widowed single father, accepts the marriage with ice in his veins. His real mission: discover exactly what Isabella told the feds and whether she’s a traitor who needs to disappear.
He expects a liar.
He finds a pawn.
Suspicion clashes with scorching attraction as the walls between captor and captive crumble. Every touch, every confession, every late-night whisper in the dark pulls them deeper into dangerous, real love.
Rich characters, brutal stakes, and twists that gut you. Mafia marriage-of-convenience perfection. I couldn’t put it down.

This book was really well done in the whole experience. Danger, drama, great banter and a terrific plot.

This was about Mafia princess Isabella who is caught by the La Corona Dons talking to the Feds, and Roman the Enforcer is ordered to marry her.

Roman is an absolutely sweet heart of a character who is both strong, brutal and takes no prisoners but he is a protector for those he loves.

They have a fantastic chemistry and the addition of little Angelica heaped on that emotional aspect.

All Isabella wants is to find who kills her mother. She is a fish out of water but soon learns to trust.

Such an amazing book. The characters have great chemistry and a book with action and emotion. So good!.

Mafia Daddy’s Christmas Bride by Ajme Williams is the tantalizing story of Roman and Isabella. She wants to build a fashion empire. But, there are things going on that interfere with her goals. She needs protection. Her father sets up an arrangement with a rival family….Roman agrees to wed her…but, the cost could be astronomical.

Really LOVED everything about this story!!! Something about this author just brings out the emotions in me!!! Roman is devoted to the ‘family’. He is tasked with ‘watching’ Isabella. She is part of another family…and is involved with outside influences….

Freaking amazing read!!! Loved both of these characters!!! Their emotions and situations are exactly what would be expected, given their circumstances. Neither quite believes the motivations of the other….and that leads to an intense…electrifying read!!!

La Corona has found out that Isabella, Don Leonardo Ferraza's daughter has been meeting with the Feds. There is only two options; they execute her or she has marry one of them. Roman Ginetti is the enforcer for La Corona and asked to handle, marry her and find out if further steps are needed. Isabella has been trying to find out who took out her mother. Now she is stuck, either marry Roman or else.

There is more to Roman than the monster he is, he has a seven year old daughter that sees his soft side. Can she trust him when he says he will find out what happened to her mother? The more time they spend together, the more things heat up. Will Roman be able to find out who is behind everything before they come for his wife?

I loved this one, looking forward to Marco's story next.

I honestly enjoy when authors actually includes the kids in the story and not just brush them off. Seeing Roman with Angelica and how he was only soft for her and eventually Isabella was cute. I just loved seeing their bond and later on how her and Isabella’s bond developed. The push and pull Roman (45) dealt with on who his loyalty truly was crazy to witness. Things aren’t always clear cut. Isabella (25) is someone who grew up in the mafia world, but hasn’t really been exposed to until she’s thrust into an arranged marriage. She’s honest, brave, and sometimes too stubborn for her own good. This book had me hooked, and wanting more. I cannot wait until the next one comes out.

Mafia Romance.
Isabella is a mafia princess, but she betrayed the mafia by working with the FBI to find out who killed her mother. However, when the mafia learns of this, they decide to marry her off to one of their hitmen—the very man the FBI believes killed her mother. She never expected to fall so hard for him, nor to be manipulated by the mafia and the FBI.
Roman is a single father since his wife's death and was executed for one of the Italian mafia's Dons. He never thought he would remarry, much less for the mafia's benefit.
Will Isabella and Roman have a beautiful love story, or will Isabella's search for the truth tear them apart….

I enjoyed this story. I was gripped all the way through. The plot is a well-crafted emotional rollercoaster, read full of drama. It tells what happens when a marriage is arranged between Roman and Isabella.

Isabella was angry when, following her mother's death, a marriage between them was arranged, as she blamed him for her mother's death. But as she gets to know him better, her opinion shifts, and she develops genuine feelings for him. This story was hard to put down and kept me turning the pages of my Kindle.

Isabella has been talking to the feds and she's been found out. Isabella wants answers for her mom's death. Noone seems to have any. Roman is an enforcer usually told to kill not marry the target. Reluctantly he agrees but his new bride seems innocent despite what they know. Now more questions are popping up, ones Roman is determined to answer. Afterall he must protect the Familia, his own daughter and his new wife.

Ajme’s Mafia stories always are filled with drama, intrigue and lots of heat. Isabella, daughter of one of the La Corona Dons is searching for answers about her mother’s death and goes to the FBI. When she’s found out, to keep her from being killed, Roman Ginetti, the enforcer, has to marry her. His may be the enforcer but his 7 year old daughter comes first. Thinking he can never love another than his deceased wife, he finds Isabella doing just that. I read this book in one day, couldn’t put it down.

Ajme is one of my go to writers, with plenty of drama, danger, banter and sizzle in her books. This one is no different.
Isabella marries the older Roman for her family's protection, his 45 to her 25 years of age. As an enforcer he's seen and (possibly) done it all, but still melts for his daughter. A sizzling read with enemies to lovers, a hint of forced proximity, a generous scoop of silver fox, and of course, Christmas.

This was a cozy Christmas murder mystery romance mafia book.
The story is of an impromptu forced marriage. Isabella, the daughter of a don was found to be seeking information from the FBI regarding the murder of her mother. Roman was asked to marry her in order to keep an eye on her and decide whether she needed to be dealt with in a more permanent manner. Her choice was marriage or death. Roman offers to help her find answers regarding her mother's murder, but she can't have any more contact with the FBi and needs to trust him. Roman is a single dad whose wife died of cancer. Their relationship starts off rocky, but Roman is patient and understanding, given the circumstances.

And now I could lose Isabella. How ironic that this would happen just when I was realizing how much she means to me. How much losing her will break me. I tuck my gun into my waistband and follow Marco out into the cold night. One thing is certain. By the end of the night, either Salvatore will be dead or I will.

One of my favorite troupes that makes this a great story to read. Isabella has ties to law enforcement and Roman is in the mafia -- definitely opposites in every way. The daughter, Angelica, brings out Roman's softer side and definitely adds depth to this story. Book contains the following:

🖤Age Gap
🖤Widower & Single Dad
🖤Enemies to lovers
🖤Arranged Marriage
🖤Cute Daughter

Looking forward to the next in series.
