Ruthless Silence
He speaks in violence and silence. She learned sign language just to tell him how much she hates him.
Ten years ago, Dante Rosetti lost his voice the same night Ana Moretti lost everything. Now Chicago’s silent enforcer commands fear with hands that sign death orders as easily as love songs—not that anyone’s ever seen the latter. He doesn’t need words to make grown men beg. He doesn’t need a voice to break bones for the family empire.
He just needs his bride to stop trying to kill him long enough to fall in love with him.
Ana has spent a decade preparing to marry and murder the mute monster who destroyed her family. She learned ASL for one purpose: to make sure he understands exactly why she’s going to kill him. But when she tries to strike during their wedding ceremony, he doesn’t punish her—he corrects her knife grip. When she attempts poison, he leaves her a note about wearing gloves next time. He’s either the most arrogant man in Chicago, or he has a death wish.
Or maybe he just likes the way his bride looks when she’s plotting his demise.
In a world where silence speaks louder than screams, Ana and Dante circle each other in a deadly dance of sign language threats and midnight piano confessions. Every assassination attempt brings them closer to something neither expected—the truth.
A dark arranged marriage mafia romance featuring a mute/silent hero, virgin heroine seeking revenge, dual POV, and enough sexual tension to burn Chicago down. Complete standalone with HEA.
