Heartless Rival: An Age Gap Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance
J. S. Cooper, Natalia Lamb

Two glasses of red wine later and I found myself spilling my guts to the handsome man sitting at the next table.
I didn’t notice that the restaurant was empty aside from us.
I didn’t notice him watching me with narrowed eyes.
Like a moment out of a movie, he asked me if I wanted to dance.
Out of nowhere a four part band started to play.
The night felt magical.
A fairytale come to life.
As he swept me across the room, he asked me to spend the night with him.
How could I say no?
He stopped abruptly when he realized it was my first time.
So I fled and disappeared into the darkness, feeling rejected and ashamed.
Only I didn’t know he was a mafia boss.
An enemy of my father.
And now Don Alessandro Andretti knows who I am, he’s not going to let me go.
