The Marriage Debt

The book explores complex power dynamics alongside deep feelings. I'm curious how the writing process navigated making both feel authentic and respectful.

The tension between attraction and hostility was so palpable, but it made me wonder if this kind of relationship can evolve into genuine love or if it's purely a fantasy.

The setting felt gritty and immersive, which added to the stakes. I'm interested in whether the author researched real mafia dynamics or created a fictional version from scratch.
