Righteous Enforcer: A Dark, Mafia Romance

I hid my daughter behind me...
And prayed her father would never find us.

Three men had me cornered.
No way out. No place left to run.
I was ready to die.

Then one of them dropped.
Dead.
Another followed.
And before I could even breathe -
he stepped out of the shadows.

Adriano Dante.

You weren't ever supposed to find out I'm still alive.

His gaze drags over me...

The blood.
The fear.
The little girl clinging to my side.

And then -
Everything changes.

Because now he knows.

I should run.
I do run.

He still catches me.

Now I'm back in his world.

In his house.
Under his rules.
At the mercy of the most feared enforcer in the Dante family.

He doesn't ask questions.
He doesn't give me a choice.

He takes.

Every glance is a warning.
Every touch feels like punishment.
Every word drips with the promise of what he'll do if I try to run again.

I tell myself I'm here for my daughter.
For her safety.

But my body remembers him.

The way he used to own me.
The way he still can.

And the more I fight him...
The more I realize -

I didn't just run from the mafia.
I ran from the only man...
Who would burn the world,
To keep me.
