A Werewolf Mafia Romance
by Arthur Payne
He isn't just the most dangerous man in Ashgrove City. He's not even human.
Elena Vance is drowning in a debt she never knew existed when four men drag her out of bed at two in the morning and deliver her straight into the hands of Damian Moretti, the coldest don the city has ever feared. Her father owed his family two million dollars. Now she owes Damian everything, starting with her freedom.
She expects violence. She expects threats. She does not expect the strange, electric pull she feels every time his gold-flecked eyes find hers across a room, or the guards who move too fast to be human, or the sound in the night that is definitely, unmistakably, not a dog.
Damian Moretti has spent his entire life burying one truth beneath another: the empire is real, but so is the wolf underneath it. His pack has ruled this city in secret for two hundred years, bound by a blood pact older than anyone living, and he has no intention of losing control, over his territory or himself, for anyone.
Then he meets Elena.
She isn't supposed to matter. She's a debt to be collected, a problem to be managed, nothing more. Until the night she bites his hand instead of screaming, and something in him, something old and possessive and starving, decides she is his to protect no matter the cost.
But Elena carries a secret written into her own blood, one that makes her the single most valuable, most hunted woman in a war two centuries in the making. A rival pack wants her dead. Damian's own family may not survive keeping her alive. And every day Elena spends inside his world pulls her deeper into a claim neither of them chose and neither of them can walk away from.
She was supposed to be his prisoner.
She was never supposed to become his weakness.
Now the only way either of them survives what's coming is together, whatever that costs, whoever it destroys, however far into the dark it takes them.
CLAIMED BY THE DON is a full-length, standalone werewolf mafia romance featuring a fiercely independent heroine who refuses to be a victim, a possessive alpha hero who learns respect the hard way, forced proximity, a slow burn that pays off, and a shifter world where love is claimed in blood.
