I’m just a girl delivering flowers to the wrong back door. Now, I’m a witness to a bloodbath. And the man holding the knife? He just claimed me as his own. Dominic Costa is a ruthless monster with shadows in his eyes and blood on his hands. I’m a struggling florist who just wanted to pay her rent. But when his men point their guns at my head, the Don barks a single order that changes my life. “Mine.” Now, my old life is erased, my business is gone, and I’m locked in a golden fortress. He says he’s keeping me safe from his enemies. But the way he watches me makes me think he’s the one I should fear. He’s cold, possessive, and determined to ruin the only innocent thing he has left. I’m his captive, his obsession, and his greatest weakness. And in this world, weaknesses are meant to be destroyed. This is a high-heat mafia novella you can devour in one sitting—perfect for when you crave an obsessive age-gap Don who burns Chicago to the ground for his curvy florist. Instalove, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, and a sugar daddy who erases her debt and builds her a bulletproof empire. No slow burn, no cheating, no filler. Just a scarred mafia king who decides she's his within minutes and never looks back. This is a standalone romance in Rica Lane's interconnected Costa Family Mafia universe.
