Synopsis



He stole my heist. Now I have to steal it back—and resist the urge to end him... or kiss him.

Michael Rossi is a smug, insufferable Mafia prince—and the only hacker good enough to snatch my score.

The job was supposed to secure my place in my family.

Instead, I’m left humiliated, sidelined… and burning for revenge.

Then Michael shows up with a devil’s bargain: help him track down the thief who double-crossed us both, or watch us both go down in flames.

I don’t trust him.

I don’t even like him.

But when we’re working side by side, trading barbs and code, the lines between hate and heat blur fast.

One stolen kiss becomes one unforgettable night.

And one dangerous truth could destroy us both: the real traitor is closer than we think—and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep their secrets.

This is the mafia.

There’s no loyalty in love… or is there?

A spicy, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia romance standalone book with morally gray characters and found family vibes.

Excerpt


It takes a while for me to pull myself back together. Knowing my parents, they’re going to pretend this blowup didn’t happen and expect me to do the same. However, they absolutely will pull all my admin privileges and equipment. They’ve been looking for an excuse to do it for years.

I feel broken inside. I was almost there. I almost managed to prove myself to my parents despite all their prejudices. I did all the work. I executed my plan perfectly.

I lost anyway.

And all because of one insufferable prick who had managed to dart in and take advantage while I was struggling to maintain security with second-rate equipment and not enough of the right software.

I hate you, Michael.

I’m so furious and disgusted that I drag his days-old email out of my filter folder and answer it. He’d asked me out again. Of course, he had. That audacious, overconfident jackass!

I answer, feeling my rage boiling inside of me as I write:

Well, I hope you’re proud of yourself.

This heist had nothing to do with you or your family. It was all about me and doing something for mine. But you just had to waltz in, fuck everything up, and humiliate me in front of my family. Did you even have a reason outside of fucking with me?

Well, congratulations. You managed to completely screw me over. This doesn’t even affect my family. In fact, it gives them an excuse to do some shit to me they’ve wanted to do for years. But my life’s never going to be the same after this.

I hope someone does to you what you’ve gone and done to me, you sonovabitch.

I send it and then block him. I don’t want to read any more of his bullshit. If I catch him at church again, and he tries to bother me, he’s getting a glass of punch in his face. And a real punch in his balls if I catch him on the street and it’s not Sunday.

In the meantime, though, I have to figure out how he got into my system and what inside person he has helping him. I swear to God, if I find out it’s my parents or one of my brothers, I am disowning all of them. But if it isn’t... then we have a spy in our house.

And since nobody will fucking listen to me, I’ll have to find them on my own.

Once I’ve cleared my name, I don’t know what I’ll do. Right now, I hate even the thought of my family. I feel trapped here. I’m sure they’ll cut me off if I run, but I don’t care.

But I do know one thing: Once I’ve sorted my life out, I’m looking up Michael Rossi again. And I’m going to make him pay.
