A mafia romance
What happens when two sisters, devout believers, and hardworking citizens fall into a world of drugs, violence, guns, and trafficking?
What happens when they manage to catch the attention of the wrong men?
Charis had always been the polar opposite of her elder sister Charity. While she was tall and brunette her sister was short with a fiery redhead. While she kept her head down and avoided conflict at all costs even when she was at an advantage her sister was outspoken and never let anyone take advantage of her... well anyone but the countless ex-boyfriends that had broken her heart.
It wasn't a surprise to find out Charis had never dated before, a little lamb catching the eye of an interested wolf Sebastian was intrigued by the woman who did everything to avoid him even when she was clearly attracted. But it was short-lived, after she basically ghosted him and then declared it meant nothing that they met as they were reunited by coincidence Sebastian decided to turn his back on her. So what happens when he has to take responsibility for his family business and he finds out he has to marry someone and it was the same woman he once shunned?
Charity thought she did not believe in any love that wasn't God's love until she met Absalom. How could a man that just met her declare with so much confidence that he wanted to marry her? With no reason other than he felt that strongly for her and wanted no one else more? What happens as well when she caves and just decides to YOLO it, what happens when she finds out that he did not just want to marry her because of how he felt? That he wasn't the man she fell in love with and that it was too late to run away?

"Do you think I smuggle women or children?" He asked, the tip of his nose dragging along the expanse of her neck and she bit her lips to stifle a moan. She wasn't even surprised at her reaction, she already knew she was deeply attracted to him, and it was more physical than emotional, wasn't that how he managed to seduce her?
"I hope not, I can barely wrap my-" she sucked in a deep breath as his hands crawled under her dress and with her plans flat against his chest she struggled to push him off of her but he wouldn't budge. "Get off Absalom, get away from me!" She screamed shoving him away "what the hell do you think you are doing?!"
"I could ask you the same thing, what the hell do you think you are doing? Where are you going?"
"Where do you think? Away from you!"
Standing straight he looked down at her with a cold look on his face, his eyes devoid of any emotion, "I'm sorry but I can't let you do that."
"What?" Charity breathed out, "Is this because of what I know, I swear I won't tell a soul, just let me go okay?"
Absalom walked back to her with hesitation in his steps, his large hands wrapping around her small neck, it was obvious a little effort was required to snap it, but he kept his grip strong enough to remind her of his strength and do only that. "I can't do that either, I won't let you go, Charity."
