About this eBook

The New York Times bestselling author of Neon Gods delivers a "deliciously gritty, darkly romantic, drop-dead sexy and thoroughly engrossing" mafia romance. (USA Today, Happy Ever After)

Married to the enemy.

When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov-cold, domineering, and always one step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City. She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this marriage easy for him.

Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon-if she doesn't bring him to his knees first.

"A tension-filled plot full of deceit, betrayal, and sizzling love scenes will make it impossible for readers to set the book down." --Publishers Weekly on Forbidden Promises

Ratings and reviews

This series is the nirvana of mob fans. Irish family branching out and intermarriage. It's the ultimate happy place for mafia fans. But this book....sigh, The Bastard's Bargain includes the Russians too. Huge sigh. Not just because he's dreamy, not just the accent, and it has nothing at all to do with the whispered words I needed Google to translate...It's all that and more!!! It's sexy and dangerous. It's tension, it's lust, and it's balanced by those pesky emotion things. The Bastard's Bargain has family issues galore, plenty of implied bad doings, and dare I say...love. It's the kind of bargain any girl would be lucky to have...

The Bastard's Bargain by Katee Robert is the sixth eagerly anticipated book in her The O'Malley's series. Finally we get Dmitri's book! When I started this series when book one, The Marriage Contract, I NEVER expected this series to grow so big, the world to be so well crafted, and characters who were enemies in one book become truly humanized in the next. Dmitri and Keira's story is no different. They are in eminent danger from true bad guys and despite the "arrangement" that is their marriage, they truly bond ad begin working together so amazingly well. Well-written, well-paced, I absolutely ADORED this emotional, sexy, intriguing read with a thrill of danger and the overcoming all bond of familial love - FIVE STARS!! Enjoy!

The Bastard's Bargain is the 6th and final book in the O'Malley series. I've both been dreading and counting down to Keira's story, mainly cuz she's such a loose cannon and Dmitri Romanov is a tyrant that I've hated to love from the beginning of the series. I've listened to the entire series on Audible, own them in paperback, and it definitely helps to bring the stories to life. The accents are perfect, and the addition of being able to close your eyes at certain parts is helpful, lol. Don't read these books out of order though, there's too much to be missed if you read this as a stand alone book.

About the author

Katee Robert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who learned to tell stories at her grandpa's knee. Her novel The Marriage Contract was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it "a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
