Handsome Devil by L.J. Shen (Paperback)

Gia Bennett is desperate to protect the one person who matters most to her. When her mother’s safety is threatened, Gia agrees to a dangerous bargain that ties her life to a man she once feared. Tatum Blackthorne is powerful, ruthless, and known for getting exactly what he wants. When he offers Gia a deal she cannot refuse, their arrangement quickly becomes far more complicated than either expected.

To the outside world, Tate appears cold and calculating, a man who thrives on control and intimidation. Yet his obsession with Gia runs deeper than simple cruelty. Their forced marriage pulls them into a world of secrets, power struggles, and dangerous alliances.

As old vendettas begin to surface, Tate’s plans for revenge spark a violent conflict that reaches far beyond their personal war. Criminal rivalries grow into a brutal mafia battle, placing both Gia and Tate in the centre of a deadly game where loyalty is constantly tested.

What began as manipulation slowly shifts into something neither of them planned. Surrounded by enemies and hidden motives, Gia must decide whether the man she married is truly her greatest danger or the only person capable of protecting her.
