Blood of the Bayou (The Magnolia Mafia Book 1)

Ordered to marry Isabella Romano, ruthless New Orleans heir Matteo DeLuca expects obedience—not desire. But when she uncovers a secret society, buried ledgers, and a deadly claim on their unborn child, their forced alliance becomes a dangerous love story. To protect her, Matteo must betray the empire he was born to inherit— lose everything first.
