Synopsis

From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel. Enzo Does she know who I am? 'No.' Have I killed for her? 'Yes.' Stalker? 'Absolutely.' Jenna I've worked the night shift at the local gas station for years, and nothing exciting ever happens. That is, until a tall dark stranger comes in to buy a coffee. I thought he was just passing through town, but then he starts coming in every night. Whenever our eyes meet, I try to muster the courage to say something to him, but I never can and only end up blushing my butt off. I begin to daydream about the man who has an air of mystery and danger, and it lessens the loneliness I feel. The night I finally manage to say 'hi' to him, the gas station is robbed, and my tall dark stranger saves my life before disappearing. A few days later, I'm offered a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy recluse. It pays more money than I've ever hoped to make in my lifetime, so I accept. I miss my handsome stranger, though. That is, until I hear a commotion one night and find him bleeding in the kitchen. It turns out everything is not as it seems, and like a helpless fly, I'm stuck in the web he's spun around me. STANDALONE: A Mafia Romance full-length novel. Each book in the Mafia Empire series is interconnected, but about a different couple who will all find their HEA.
