Here's "Poisoned Heart" by KA Merikan. It's the first novel in the Twisted Mafia Vows series (same universe/family as the "Christmas Mafia Prince").
["It was supposed to be blackmail. Now we’re choosing the wedding cake.I’m Corvus Van der Horn, and as my family’s poisoner and torturer, I’m a master of control, cruelty, and patience. My prisoners are faceless pawns who ought to fear me.
Until Dalton.
He should be forgettable—a washed-up fighter and gambler with more debt than sense. Then I saw his phone. Turns out half the city’s men would sell their souls to let him wreck them. Now I can’t stop asking why.
So we strike a his freedom, in exchange for the kind of night I could never risk with anyone else. A chance to give up control. Just once.
Now he’s under my skin like a disease. And saving him requires a cover story so outrageous it might actually work—an engagement. Me. Engaged. To a man who can’t bluff to save his life and thinks planning ahead means ordering two beers instead of one.
Our deal was supposed to be a secret. A mistake I’d bury.
Instead, I’m drowning in wedding chaos and my own desire.
But when I realize someone is hunting my husband-to-be, they wake up the worst part of me. Because no one—no one—messes with what’s mine."]
Corvus might be brilliant in sooo many ways, but he's an idiot. He fell for Dalton from the very beginning, but he kept pushing him away and denying his own feelings and hurting Dalton. Dalton didn't put up with that shit though; he pushed back, showed his feelings, and loved on Corvus. He fell just as fast, just as hard, but he accepted them (maybe even a little naively).
And then I cried and Dalton cried. It sucked. But it got better!! And then weird, well the weird was the bachelor party so..
Trigger Warnings: blackmail, abduction, coercion, imprisonment, use of an aphrodisiac/drug, on-page violence
