Octavia Taliaferro is about to uncover the truth.
A brilliant college prodigy with a rising career in New Media, Octavia has spent years chasing the mystery that shaped her childhood-the unsolved murder of Sarah Marshall, the babysitter who once made her feel safe.
When her father, a powerful mafia Don, leaves the country, he assigns his most trusted enforcer to protect her for two weeks.
Gia DiCicco is a man built for violence.
Older. Controlled. Untouchably loyal to the family that made him lethal.
He's supposed to be a wall between Octavia and the dangers circling her.
Instead, he becomes the one thing she can't ignore.
Trapped in close quarters, their uneasy alliance turns into obsession-an attraction neither of them can afford, and neither of them can stop.
When Octavia finally tracks down a witness connected to the murder, Gia knows the truth before she does.
The man is a predator.
By the time Octavia realizes it, she's already in danger-
and Gia is forced to become exactly what he's always been:
the family's weapon.
Now Octavia holds the evidence that could launch her career...
and a secret that could destroy the man who saved her.
Because if her father ever learns what happened during those two weeks-
the lines Gia crossed, the loyalty he broke-
there won't be mercy.
There will only be consequences.
The Job is a dark, forbidden mafia romance featuring forced proximity, a possessive protector hero, moral corruption, obsession, and high-stakes romantic suspense.
