Mafia Men II: Lorenzo's Gilded Cage

Princess Delilah Regina Gutenberg has just turned twenty-three when her father, King Octavius Stark Gutenberg of Onteros, orders her dressed in a thin gown and no undergarments, then presents her to King Alexander, the forty-two-year-old ruler whose three previous wives all died under unknown circumstances. In a chamber filled with his warriors, Alexander circles her, strips the gown away and inspects her body while her father watches, offering her virginity as part of the bargain. He accepts the match and vows to marry her by the end of the week, promising payment only after she bleeds on their wedding night.

Delilah is not the untouched bride her father swears she is, and she knows the lie could destroy her. When she begs her father to refuse, he admits he is drowning in debt and would sacrifice any number of daughters to restore his power. Trapped between a merciless king and a father who sees her as currency, she must decide how far she will go to escape a marriage that may cost her life.
