When the brutal leader of the Irish mob murders my fiancé in front of me, I suck the olive right out of my martini and start to choke. Mad Darragh is sadistic, cruel, and just crazy enough to enjoy watching me suffocate.

But he doesn't. He hooks his fists beneath my ribs, pressing mercilessly. As I lose consciousness the last thing I hear is his voice:

"Every breath you breathe belongs to me now, pet."

Turns out he wants more than just my breath. He wants my hand in marriage.
And he's willing to break every rule in the book to get it.

Darragh doesn't know who he's up against. He may be a gambling man. He may only play for keeps...
But my name is Valentina Titone. And when I play, I play to win.

A Game So Reckless is part one of Valentina and Darragh's story. It is a steamy age-gap dark mafia romance with a morally grey, obsessed hero, forced proximity, forced marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers elements, angst, spicy scenes, and other dark romance themes. Perfect for fans of Luna Mason, Sadie Kincaid, and Somme Sketcher.

It is recommended to read the preceding duet before this book (A Debt So Ruthless and A Vow So Soulless) but it is not necessary.
