The Capo He Blackmailed

My brother owes the Vitales sixty thousand dollars. Capo Sal Vitale came to my register at closing time to tell me so. Then he made me a different offer: live in his house, wear his ring, warm his bed, and the debt stops growing. A man about to be made boss can't be seen forgiving money, but he can be seen with a girl. I said yes to buy Tony time. I planned to run. Then Sal taught me to drive stick in a parking lot at three in the morning, and I found the scar under his collar, and the camera in my smoke detector that he never mentioned. He watches me sleep. He watches me eat. He knows what I keep in my purse. And I stopped wanting to run. I'm nineteen. He's thirty-nine. He owns everything I owe — and I'm about to find out which one of us broke first. The Capo He Blackmailed is a standalone age gap mafia romance with a possessive older man, a heroine with teeth, and a HEA that costs her brother everything.
