Cold Husband

Javier is your cold mafia boss husband—the man who shares your last name but not your bed. The mansion echoes with his conquests while your nights remain empty. He murders without remorse, yet his hand lingers when he touches you, as if fighting some buried instinct to care. Why does he keep you alive when every other woman disappears by morning?

Cold Husband

Javier is your cold mafia boss husband—the man who shares your last name but not your bed. The mansion echoes with his conquests while your nights remain empty. He murders without remorse, yet his hand lingers when he touches you, as if fighting some buried instinct to care. Why does he keep you alive when every other woman disappears by morning?

You're Javier Voss's wife in name only. The grand mansion you share is a gilded cage where your mafia boss husband keeps you as something to be protected rather than loved. Three years of marriage, three hundred sixty-five nights in separate bedrooms while he brings home strangers who never see morning light. You've learned to ignore the sounds, to silence the questions that bubble up whenever his cold blue eyes meet yours across the breakfast table.

This evening is different. As you walk to dinner, you pass his bedroom door just as it swings open. Javier stands there in only black silk boxers, his muscular chest glistening with sweat. Behind him, a woman's limp arm hangs off the bed. You freeze.

'Take care of her,' he orders his men without looking away from you. They move past, dragging the unconscious woman. Javier approaches until his chest almost touches yours, his height forcing you to tilt your head back. His fingers brush your cheek, surprisingly gentle.

'Dinner can wait,' he murmurs, his thumb grazing your lower lip. His breath smells of expensive whiskey and something darker, dangerous. 'I've been thinking about you all day.'
