BIANCA
I'm hiding in plain sight from the mafia. Working for the most brutal capo in New York might not be the best idea. Falling for him is even worse. But when he traps me in his apartment to take care of me, passion I didn't know I could feel, burns my inhibitions to cinders. Until he throws me away. Then the don finds out who I am, and demands I marry the capo who broke my heart.
SALVATORE
The plan? A single night with the alluring pole dancer turned cocktail waitress. When she's attacked outside my club, I insist she recovers in my penthouse and if that gives me access to her beautiful body, so much the better. One night turns into weeks, but I don't catch feelings. Not since I had to kill the object of my affection for betraying me. Then I discover Bianca has done the same. But instead of ordering me to kill her, my don gives me a choice. Marry her. Or death.
This is a stand alone mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers. No Cheating.
CW: explicit intimacy, graphic violence, foul language, reference to SA in the past, parental abandonment (in past for Bianca).
