Because You’re Mine Blurb

Tara has never been the typical beauty. She’s curvy, thick, and fierce, but it took her years to embrace her worth after being bounced around the foster care system. Her struggles fueled her passion to become an advocate for foster kids, and after launching her UFCP program, she’s finally seeing her dreams come true. At a grand charity banquet, Tara proudly represents her program, now recognized nationally. But the evening takes a surprising turn when she encounters Giovanni Berlusconi, a man from her past who has transformed into a powerful and dangerously alluring figure.

Giovanni, now a mafia kingpin, has set his sights on Tara, and despite her initial attempts to keep her distance, he’s determined to make her his. Tara knows the dangers of getting involved with a man like Gio, especially after two of her colleagues die in a mysterious car crash tied to his family’s dark secrets. Despite her fears, she tries to avoid him—until she stumbles upon a secret family meeting and witnesses Gio committing a murder.

Now, Tara faces an impossible choice: marry the man she fears most or face certain death. In a world where trust is fragile and danger lurks in every shadow, Tara must decide whether to risk everything for a chance at love or surrender to a life she never wanted.
