His Assistant, His Obsession

Aira thought her new job as executive assistant would mean schedules and spreadsheets-not secrets and stolen glances. But her boss, Dario Virello, is no ordinary CEO. Beneath the tailored suits and cold commands lies the heir to a powerful mafia empire. As she's pulled deeper into his world, danger stalks every corner-and so does desire. Lines blur between professionalism and obsession, between loyalty and betrayal. He's used to control, but she's not so easily owned. In the heart of the city's most dangerous game, falling for the boss isn't just reckless-it might be deadly. But some temptations are impossible to resist.

Small excerpt from the book
I wanted to scream. I wanted to sob.
And instead, I just said: "You don't even know me."
He stepped closer.
"No," he murmured. "But I see you."
And then, without warning, he lifted his hand - gently - and touched the side of my face.
His thumb brushed my cheek.
Slow. Careful. Like he was touching something breakable.
"You think I'm dangerous," he whispered.
"You are," I breathed.
His lips quirked. "Good."
Then he leaned in - not a kiss. Not quite. But close enough that I could feel the heat of it.
"I won't hurt you," he said. "But I'll destroy anything that tries to."
