18+ Disclaimer: this book contains violence, sex scene and dark themes that can easily trigger someone. Kindly don't read if you are easily impressed. In the city that never sleeps, where power is won with blood and money, Catherine is the trophy wife of an ambitious financial consultant, living a life of superficial luxury. When her husband, driven by a hunger for power, tries to ingratiate himself with the Italian mafia, their fragile balance is shattered. It is in this chaos that Catherine meets Matteo Caruso, the feared leader of the city's most powerful clan. Matteo is a man of few words, preferring to assert his will through decisive actions and ruthless gestures. Drawn to Catherine's irresistible beauty and magnetic allure, he decides that she must be his, at any cost. Their forbidden attraction turns into a dangerous game, where desire and fear intertwine in a whirlwind of passion and violence. But as Catherine's world crumbles around her, buried secrets emerge, threatening everything she has ever known. --- Prologue. Catherine leaned trembling against the bathroom counter, her breath uneven as she tried to calm the frantic beating of her heart. It had been a terrible idea. She shouldn't have accepted the invitation. She should have convinced her husband to stay home. But now, with Matteo Caruso's burning gaze still etched on her skin, she knew she had gone too far. The door opened behind her, and the enveloping scent of his expensive perfume overwhelmed her. Everything about him was now her sweet curse. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "Don't resist, Catherine." Matteo whispered, his voice low, hoarse, and heavy with a dark promise. "We are meant to be together."

Part 2 of -> Twice Bossed This book is sort of a continuation of another book - Twice Bossed, but, not really. It is a completely standalone story - you DO NOT have to have read Twice Bossed first, at all. Three times the fantasy, three times the trouble. I've got a dirty secret. A crush. Specifically, on my boss. Well, bosses. All three of them. Not one, and not two, but three. Three huge, dominant, possessive, gorgeous men. And you want to know the really dirty part? They want to make me theirs. They want to make me submit, and make me feel things I've never felt before. Things I've never dared to dream about. Three men with an offer of a lifetime - the chance to fulfill the dirtiest, filthiest, most forbidden fantasy a girl could ever imagine. There's only one question. Do I dare? They say two is a party and three's a crowd, but I don't think that's right. Three is perfect. The filthiest, hottest, most mind-blowing type of perfect imaginable. That is, if I can handle it. Bossed Three Times is a hot, steamy read involving a mfmm menage romance with three utterly obsessed alpha heroes. This is all about her (Written by MADISON FAYE)
