"You are all insane." "That's how we got here."

Jessi Harper isn't your typical Mafia asset. He's the Italian Mafia's most prized escort-sharp-tongued, untouchable, and always dressed to kill. Fiercely loyal but wild at heart, Jessi plays the game on his own terms. He's used to being wanted, used to being watched... but not like this. Not by him. Derick Marino leads the Mafia like a god-cold, feared, and always in control. He doesn't bend. He doesn't break. And he definitely doesn't get distracted by the Mafia's flirtatious plaything. At least, that's the story he tells himself every time Jessi walks into the room with that maddening smile and a strut that demands attention. He's the king. Jessi's the spark. And their chemistry? A ticking time bomb. Derick says he's straight. Jessi's made a career out of teasing men like him. But what happens when teasing turns into tension that won't go away? When stolen glances become something more? And when the most forbidden thing becomes the one thing neither of them can resist? This isn't just a fling. It's a war between desire and denial-and someone's going to lose control. --- Sneak Peek: My back arched, teeth sinking into the pillow as the sound of skin meeting skin echoed around the candlelit room. I was a mess-sweaty, breathless, wrecked. Exactly how he liked me. Then I felt his hand in my hair, rough and demanding, yanking me back just enough to hear his voice-low, dangerous, and right against my ear. "I'm going to fuck you until every candle in this room burns out." --- Note: This is a BL (Boys' Love) dark romance with a whole lot of tension, complicated feelings, and two men who should know better-but don't stop anyway. Perfect for readers who like their stories messy, magnetic, and just a little bit dangerous.

The chains jingled occasionally behind me. It rattled softly then loudly and then it went back to the quiet little rattles as I prepared the other medicines he was supposed to take. From time to time, I would take glances and find Romanov trying to wiggle his legs an arm. That must feel really uncomfortable, I found myself thinking. I immediately shook the thought out of my head and focused back to my job. I continued humming a tune from a song that was stuck in my head for a while now. Last Song Syndrome they call it, but it wasn't actually the last song I heard. Preparing the medicine and filling up syringes must have took too much of my attention that I didn't notice the sudden presence of heat behind me. It kept quiet for a long while that I never noticed it there. It was only until he grumbled my name that I felt my heart skip a beat.
