1. A TOUCH OF FATE by Cora Reilly

SYNOPSIS

Old BLURB:

Since a car accident as a child, Emma Mancini is bound to a wheelchair. In a society that values its women for their beauty, she’s seen as damaged and undesirable. When one of the most sought-after bachelors of the Chicago Outfit agrees to marry her, she knows a deal between their families must be the reason. Her suspicions are confirmed when Samuel treats their bond as a tiresome duty.

Samuel Mione is crippled by guilt and bitterness. As a future Underboss of the Chicago Outfit, he doesn’t have time to take care of anyone, much less open up to them emotionally. For him, the bond to a woman like Emma means another unwanted obligation.

But Emma isn’t someone who resigns herself to her fate. She’s overcome greater obstacles than a cold husband, and is determined to show him that she isn’t the burden he fears.

New BLURB:

When Emma Mancini finds out the news of her impending arranged marriage to Samuel Mione, the future Underboss of the Outfit and one of Chicago’s most sought-after bachelors, she is hopeful for their future despite their age difference. However, the never ending gossip surrounding their union and Samuel’s cold attitude extinguishes that hope.

After an unfortunate decision made in the past—guilt and bitterness are Samuel’s constant companions. He doesn’t have time for emotional nonsense, and a bond to a woman only adds another unwanted obligation.

Nevertheless, Emma isn’t someone who resigns herself to her fate. She’s overcome much greater obstacles than a cold husband who’s determined to keep her at arm’s length.

Can Emma break through Samuel’s impenetrable walls? And if she does, can she live with what she discovers?
