Taught by the Capo

Juno Reyes walks into a downtown office building to deliver a portfolio nobody asked for and to leave with two hundred thousand dollars of her brother's debt. She leaves with an appointment instead. Nico Ciccone is thirty-nine, seated at a table most men take decades to reach, and wants a memorial tattooed across his ribs by a stranger with steady hands. He pays in cash. He does not ask questions. Juno has one. Where is her brother. The answer takes eight weeks, one studio, three sessions, and one trip to a Greyhound platform she walks back from. He taught her everything except how to leave. A billionaire mafia age gap romance about ink, debts, and the one needle that goes in clean.
