One bed. One lie. One time was never going to be enough. Dario Alessi is twice my age and lethal in all the ways that drive me crazy. Now that I’m eighteen, the tension between us is impossible to ignore. When his Italian famiglia needs my help, I jump on the plane without hesitation, more than ready to prove my worth and finally earn my place in my family’s Bratva. I didn’t expect to pose as Dario’s wife. I definitely didn’t expect to share a bed. We tell ourselves it’s just one time. One time to get it out of our systems. One time, and then we walk away. Liar, liar. She’s eighteen, the daughter of Lev Melnikov, and a violent little thing with a pierced body and a mouth that makes me insane. The ring on her finger might be for a fake marriage, but it’ll be real soon enough. I told myself one time would be enough. But Mia was never a woman you touch once and forget. She fears a cage more than anything, but I don’t want to tame my little viper. I want her to sink her fangs into me and never let go. This is a very steamy, dark mafia romance with a little humor mixed in! It’s the sixth book in the Melnikov Legacy series, but it can be read as a standalone. No cheating, no other woman drama, and an HEA is always guaranteed. Please see the content warning at the beginning of the book and read responsibly.
