Velvet Kingdom: A Mafia Romance (Rossi Crime Family Book 1)

Completely. Freaking. Topless. That was the predicament I found myself in as my gorgeous-but-terrifying boss, Renzo Rossi, walked into the room and caught me contorting in the mirror while taking dirty selfies. My hot-as-sin boss had just discovered my scandalous antics, and I had no idea how he would react.

My relationship was already falling apart, so I had decided to spice things up by snapping some steamy pics at the office, thinking it would be a great idea. How wrong I was. Renzo was not shy about complimenting my pose, which only added to my growing sense of humiliation.

Life then took an even darker turn when my boyfriend broke up with me and skipped town with all my belongings. Dumped, humiliated, and at rock bottom, I was seriously considering joining a nunnery, if those were still a thing.

That's when Renzo dropped a bombshell: his arranged wife had gone on the run, and he was desperate to find a replacement. He wanted me to marry him and carry his surrogate child for the casual sum of five million dollars. Turns out, the Rossi Famiglia was one of the five biggest mafia organizations in the city of Philadelphia, and Renzo needed an heir to maintain his legitimacy.

Could my life get any worse? Apparently, it could. One nighttime visit to Renzo's bedroom turned into two, then three, and soon I couldn't get him out of my mind. The lines between our professional and personal lives had become hopelessly blurred.

As I navigated this bizarre and perilous situation, I couldn't help but wonder if I had made a terrible mistake. Had I traded my dignity and freedom for a hefty sum of money? Was I now in too deep with one of the most powerful and dangerous men in the city?

The constant tension and uncertainty took a toll, and I found myself questioning every decision I had made. But with Renzo's wealth and influence, and the looming threat of the mafia, could I even think about walking away from this arrangement?

As I lay awake at night, torn between my desire for a fresh start and the allure of financial security, I knew that my life would never be the same. The once-simple world I inhabited had been turned upside down, and I had no choice but to face the consequences of my actions, whatever they may be.
