Signed In Silence: A Dark Forced Marriage Mafia Romance

Seraphina Ashford never expected to be sold. Not in those words - her father called it an alliance, a contract, a merger of two powerful families. But when she is handed to Adrian Blackwell, the coldest and most feared man in the city's criminal empire, she knows exactly what she is: collateral. Adrian doesn't want a wife. He wants leverage. Seraphina is insurance - a way to ensure her father's loyalty and silence his debts.
She is a transaction. Nothing more. Until she starts asking the wrong questions. Opening the wrong doors. Refusing to stay in the shadows he assigned her. The more she fights him, the more he watches her. The more he watches, the harder it becomes to remember she was never supposed to matter. And the more she uncovers about the man behind the coldness, the more she wonders if the cage he built was ever really meant to hold her - or to protect her.
Some silences are kept out of fear. Some are kept out of love. And some - the most dangerous kind - are the ones you choose because the truth would destroy everything.
