When a mysterious stranger offers me ten times my usual rate to give his sister violin lessons, I can’t afford to say no. But now, the dark side of his life is knocking on my door. There’s nowhere to run except into his arms. Matteo DeLuca is fierce and powerful, always getting what he wants. Over six feet tall and the leader of a crime family, I never expect to discover this emotional, musical side of him through his texts. But I make a mistake and let myself get too close. Now, I’m caught in the crossfires of a Mafia war. It’s like there are two the one who ruthlessly does whatever’s necessary to destroy his competition and the one I see—softer, insightful, but still capable of extreme violence, and all without blinking an eye. Falling for him feels so natural, but when he shows his ugly side, a part of me becomes frightened of how badly I want him. * Texting Mr. Stranger is an insta-everything romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
