Dating the mafia princess next door with an intention to marry her was not in my plans… After a syndicate known only as the Maxim Project kidnaps the leaders of the Veleno Family, I spend several grueling months adjusting policies as the new boss. With dissonance and disagreement running rampant, my leadership in question, and no trail to follow, the last thing I need is to find myself waking up tied to a chair in Briar Rosanera’s bedroom. She’s young, chaotic, beautiful…and deadly in ways her family’s reputation didn’t prepare me for. As it turns out, my parents weren’t the only ones taken. She wants hers back. And she makes her offer hard to refuse. The biggest problem? Her business proposal sounds a lot like a marriage one. That Time I Played the Mafia Boss is a laugh-out-loud dark romcom with sarcastic humor, big men in need of therapy, sassy women (who also need therapy), and plenty of closed-door sizzle.
