Neither was ours for the taking.

But when a ruthless Mafia don I’ve been promised to comes to collect, will Castle forget about me?
Or take what already belongs to him:
My heart.

About the author

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.
Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.
When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside—rain or shine.
You can find all of his books at www.jaggercolewrites.com

- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2025Loved this book, great plot and plenty of twists! Make sure to read the entire series, you won’t regret it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025If you’ve read the series, you’ve already gotten to know Castle and Callie. Castle- being the overprotective Captain American, always saving everyone, while Callie is the sassy, spoiled, mafia princess who doesn’t take shit from anyone.
Trying not to give anything away but her dad basically sold her to a horrible man and when that doesn’t work out, Castle marries her to prevent a huge loss for both families. Although the book is entertaining, it takes more than 50% of it for Callie to actually mature (and for Castle to finally make up his mind about them), and even then, she never seems grateful for all the saving that’s constantly being done for her, mainly by Castle. Secondly, almost every chapter repeats Castles haunting past, like we didn’t get it the first 10 chapters, and lastly, the terminology used during the spicy scenes are repeated so much, even through the series, that it made me just skim through some because I already knew what was going to happen.
So far, this is my least favorite book, but not so much that I wouldn’t recommend it. If you’re following the series, just push through because I’m sure Deimos’ story is going to be worth it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025A story where its the girl who never gave up on wanting the guy. The guy is dominant, a chip on his shoulders, worries about everyone but himself. Survivors guilt to the fullest. This story will take you through twist and turns, but the chemistry between the characters is off the charts. I love how the story ended! My one question for pretty much every one of these stories is how did no one get pregnant? Virgins, no birth control mentioned at all, no condoms! Apart from that, it was amazing. Jagger Cole has his steamy scenes down pat for sure!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025Castle James, the second in command to Cillian Kildare, the Irish mafia boss and Calliope’s (Callie) story. Callie, the Greek Mafia princess has a big crush on Castle (the bodyguard of her 2 best friends) but sadly, she’s promised to Luca Carveli, an old Italian Mafia boss who died. She’s now supposed to be free but his son wants to claim her as his bride to honor the arranged marriage contract. The problem is her brother Ares recently changed all their business holdings into Callie’s name. So, Castle volunteers to marry her to save both the Greek and Irish their wealth.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024Honestly, this book just didn’t do it for me. Overall I guess the plot was good but honestly when I got to the 50% mark I was already so annoyed and just skimmed all the way to the end. Callie was just so immature for me and for someone who’s born in the world that she is you would think she would take everything going on around her more seriously but instead she wants to be annoying and stubborn and push castles buttons just to get a reaction from him. Again, that’s just too childish for me and it just made me not like her anymore especially when she goes behind his back to get more information from him just because she hast to know more about him instead of taking the time for him to open up to her than normal way. Overall I’m happy to see that castle was involved with the Kyler from the beginning and it just shows that he was always meant to be with his sisters as their protector.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023Wow! This was a great read!
This is an arranged marriage mafia romance. This involves the Irish mafia (the Kildare family) in which Castle is the second in command. Castle agrees to marry Callie to save her from a terrible fate. Over time sparks fly and the chemistry between the two of them is undeniable. I loved the twists in this and Callie and Castle were the perfect pairing.
I definitely recommend this one! All the books in this series are standalone’s but for context I would read them in order.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2025I love this book it’s filled with so much exciting romance and suspense. I really enjoyed the love story of Callie and Castle!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025Spoiled brat is who she is...Calli..has no boundaries even when it causes chaos...
Broody grumpy...absolutely gorgeous is this man Castle...sacrificing his sanity to protect " the family "....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read
Just finished reading ‘Stolen Hearts’ & it was a fantastic addition to this series. A bit of mystery, a whole lot of ‘sexy’ romance (a given in this series) & a well written continuation of the Kildare, Tsarenko/Reznikov & Drakos storyline that adds further intrigue & fascination to this ever-evolving tale. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this story about Castle & Calliope’s (Callie) love for one another. Loved how Jagger Cole introduced us to a character previously found in the periphery of this ongoing story/series. Castle’s story is an intense & dark one that slowly reveals his deep & agonizing pain. His HEA is both expected & unexpected. Another ‘great read’!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reading
Really like this serious of Mafia story and Castle story is no different with a few surprises along the way.
Callie is a wild one always pushing boundaries to see what she can get away with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great writter
I love the books I've read so far, great universe to get engrossed in. Love the characters and the plots, very exciting story lines. Great character development. I always get excited for the next installment of the series I'm reading so far. Hope to see more great books for this author.
- StephanieReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!
What a rollercoaster! There isn’t a straight path in this entire book. It’s full of twists and turns. You’ll be going in one direction and think you’ve worked it out then it does a 180! You think you’ve got a handle on that then it does another 180.
Great storyline. Flicked through some of the sex scenes as they were too many and a bit repetitive and I really wanted to get back to the storyline and find out who did it!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The title is appropriate
I found this book an easy read. I had it figure out early on. Yet I would still recommend it to others.
