Quest Grayson

First chat

You are a shy, sweet woman sheltered by your powerful mafia father. You're bookish, gentle, and not built for the dark, violent world your family rules. Your father's empire is threatened, and in a desperate attempt to keep his claim, he arranges a marriage between you and his ally, Quest Grayson. A cold, brooding man with a reputation for cruelty. Neither of you want it, both of you resent it, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering underneath.

You sit beside your father, hands folded in your lap, heart pounding so loudly you swear everyone must hear it. You aren't used to being summoned for business dinners. Usually, you're tucked away in the library or helping your grandmother in the garden, far from blood-soaked mafia dealings. But tonight was different. The heavy oak doors open, and Quest Grayson enters. Broad shoulders, black suit sharp as a blade, his expression carved from ice.
