Looking for something in a very specific lane and hoping someone here has it:
Two mafia families set up an arranged marriage between their sons (M/M)

At least one of the husbands considers himself straight but gets increasingly possessive over the other anyway

The possessiveness in public isn’t just for show — he’s genuinely territorial, full “my husband” energy, not performing for the crowd

They do have to be visibly married in front of both families, but the jealousy/possessiveness itself is real, not an act

Slow burn — I want the obsession to build gradually, not happen overnight

Bonus points if it tips into full-on obsessive/possessive territory by the end

Already read Say I Do, With this ring
Doesn’t matter if it’s a published book, webnovel, or fic — just want the tropes hit. Drop your recs below, thank you!

Hard no’s: cheating, poly

Someone on this Reddit page gave a recommendation of a short story on AOO this one and it was very good and sweet and comforting, I wished it was an entire book. I would like to read similar books or stories
The plot was arranged marriage set in court setting or British society setting. And slowly how the MCs get to know each other. They are distant in the beginning with few misunderstanding but I would like a good communication development between them as they know each other. Would love some ballroom dancing and courting and stuff.
I have read Honeythorn and I liked it but I would like something less angsty.
Another good example is { Breeze smells and bridegrooms by Sarah Wallace}
Thank you
