Bellandi Crime Syndicate #6
Settled Scores
I was never meant to lead.
She was never meant to be mine, betrothed to a man born from nightmares.
Just one moment, a single glance into Aoife’s fierce gaze, and I am lost in a way I never want to be found. I’ll do whatever it takes to have her — even accept a seat I never wanted at the head of the Irish family.
She wasn’t meant to marry either man her father chose for her.
Aoife guards her heart with a sharp tongue and defiance that should turn me away. Somehow, she only ensnares me further, her moments of vulnerability awakening something inside me I didn’t know existed.
Our worlds crash together, our common enemy uniting us.
The man who intended to be her husband has waged war in our city, selling and killing the innocent alongside those we’ve both grown to care for. He won’t forget the strike against him, the knowledge that the girl he meant to be his is now my wife.
I’ll burn the world before I let him touch her.
Settled Scores is a mafia arranged marriage romance with dark elements. It is book six in the Bellandi Crime Syndicate series and can be read as a standalone, but presents a better reading experience when read in order.

March 19, 2022Im new to this series and author but I read the 5th book (ya i probably shoud've started from the top but anyways) the character of Aoife in the previous book is giving me instant bad bitch vibes and im here for it !!
anyways Im gonna probably end up reading this whole series before this comes out but this definitely falls under an underrated series imo. haven't heard a lot about these books but its well written and has good tropes <3
