Books like Bones by Shantel Tessier
Mia, an invisible sort‑of-nobody born into a deadly Mafia family, is shuffled from Las Vegas to Italy to protect her from the same world that shunned her. A card in her father’s game, she is eventually sold to a ruthless King whose cold gaze hides a darker agenda. As Mia becomes entangled in a deadly plot, she must rely on an unlikely ally to survive.
The King, whose ruthless reputation earns him the nickname "Bones" after a violent act against a bully, craves violence and sees power in chaos. He takes Mia in, reluctant but protective, and together they navigate danger, betrayal, and the ever‑present threat to their lives.
With themes of abuse, forced proximity, sibling friendship, and an enemies‑to‑lovers dynamic, the pair must balance their violent world with the spark of connection that could lead to redemption.
