Cruel Union by Evangeline Anderson

SLADE
I knew as soon as I saw her that she was MINE.
It’s called The Lightning Strike–the feeling a Brute gets when he finds his Fated Mate. I knew Aurora was my Fated Mate, but how could I get her?
She’s a Princess but worse, she’s Untainted with pure human DNA–they don’t want anything to do with my kind. I guess I can’t blame her–I’m a criminal after all. A member of the Four Families–Clan Cruel to be exact. Sure we dabble in extortion, gun-running, gambling, and illegal cloning. But that doesn’t mean I won’t do anything in the universe to make the curvy little human mine and taste her until she moans my name and tugs my horns.

Aurora
All I knew about Slade was that he was the Enforcer from Clan Cruel who collected our Tribute every six months. Muscles strained the expensive suits he wore and his golden eyes followed me everywhere. The way he looked at me made me quiver inside so I tried to avoid him.
I had no idea he had decided I was his Fated Mate.
Apparently, he’s been watching me for years and now he sees his opportunity–my foolish younger brother has gambled away all the tribute money. With no other way to pay, I’m forced to accept his proposition–Slade wants to marry me and make me bear his heir. For six months he gets to try to impregnate me. If I get pregnant, I have to stay.

I’m not staying.
I might have to marry the huge Brute, but I’ll never have his child.

Author’s Note–Cruel Union is a forced marriage, Dark Mafia Romance–the first book in the new Brutal Universe Series
