that started off as a bit of a mystery about a girl who's acting much like doormat with no control over her life. If you can get past the initial shock of such unfair treatment, you will find a deeper mystery to be solved by book's end. But first, a recap...Sparrow Raynes, daughter of a low-level Irish mobster, and Troy Brennan, son of the ex-mob head are about to be married. Troy is known locally as "The Fixer" and Sparrow was... nobody. Sparrow was uprooted from her normal life, and given 10 days to marry Troy Brennan, no reason given. As Sparrow learned to adjust to her new life, she slowly learned the reason why Troy is the way he is (trying to avenge death of his mob head father), and may even have grown to love the man who keeps her caged. But Troy's enemies are out there, and they will try to destroy him, even if they have to go through Sparrow to do it.
The characters are complex, and both FMC and MMC have undergone transitions and changed, as they have indeed fallen for each other despite their attempt to pretend the marriage under strange circumstances were just a marriage of convenience. You will learn why he married her later, and they have secrets that may yet destroy their relationship. The pieces were revealed piece by piece like a mystery, as their relationship slowly shifted. It is a beautiful tale, though somewhat slow. But I believe you will be rewarded by the rich tapestry of obligations and wants and how they managed to navigate them together.
