The Sound in Silence

By M.L. Philpitt
The Sound in Silence by M.L. Philpitt digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Fairy tales tease the existence of a better life. For Ariella Lambert, they don't exist, and her trauma-induced selective mutism meant letting go of the future she once dreamed of. Now deeply embedded within the Corsetti mafia family by her sister's union, she seeks a fraction of control and volunteers herself for an arranged marriage with the head of another crime family.

 

Erico Rossi, underboss of the New York Famiglia, was enthralled by Ariella from their first meeting. After one engagement is broken, he agrees to the offered union to Ariella, with the intent of formulating a loveless marriage. Ariella's expressive silence sparks his interest in her, and soon, Erico wants to know his new wife in every way possible. Sometimes silence can be louder than noise.

 

The Sound in Silence is a mafia romance with content some readers may find triggering.

The Sound in Silence Reviews

4.0
“This was inspired by The Little Mermaid with a mafia twist. It was easy to recognize those fairy tale elements, yet get the whole mafia vibes at the same time. It was just a perfect combination of the two. It made this stand out from the mafia romance. I appreciated that mightily. I loved that this was an arranged marriage in the whole mafia world. It had those typical vibes in other mafia romances. There was a lot of mistrust, miscommunication, and a lot of unknowns. Erico and Arielle had to navigate around each other very carefully as they dealt with this marriage. For being the mafia boss, he was an absolute sweetheart when it came to her. It was clear he was smitten from the beginning and showed it accordingly. He treated like his queen the entire time. He was understanding with her trauma mad moved at her place. He really gave her control in the most beautiful way possible. The trust and love they built was pretty special. I really enjoyed see them flourish together as a couple.”
