He reverse-kidnaps me. Instead of snatching me away, the mafia boss moves into my house. Now he’s renovating to his luxury standards and looking at me like he wants to eat me whole. I nurse the kingpin’s gunshot wound in the hospital, and when I’m done, he asks me to quit, and work for him instead. I refuse, and when he threatens to kidnap me, I point out that’s hardly likely to make me be careful when changing his dressings. I think that’s the end. A heart-pounding encounter with an older, powerful, dangerous man. Until I get back to my house share, and discover he’s bought the entire building and moved in upstairs. At first, I clean his wounds. But it’s not long before the kingpin wants more. Kept by the Kingpin is a sweet and spicy age gap romance with a mafia boss obsessed with spoiling his innocent girl.

If you stop at sane, you miss all the best stuff. Evie Rose writes gleefully improbable bitesized instalove romances, with heroes who are all-in obsessed for their heroines. She loves possessive alpha heroes, age gap, tons of spice, forced proximity, pining, and swoony romantic bits. She's the darker alter-ego of bestselling author Eve Pendle.
