Felix Marchioni took me as payment for my father’s debt. My father had racked up tens of thousands of dollars at Felix’s club, gambling away money we didn’t have.
The mafia man dragged me out of our apartment like he was repossessing stolen property. He quickly gave me the title of “maid” and put me to work in a rotting brownstone he’d inherited.
To keep the multimillion-dollar property, he has to live there. Which means we’re side by side, day and night, the air between us charged with something I shouldn’t want.
But resisting him is a battle I’m losing—and he knows it. I should resent Felix for tearing me from the only life I’ve ever known.
Instead, I’m drawn to him in ways I can’t admit, each glance and touch igniting something I shouldn’t feel.
And as I sift through this house, I uncover secrets as dangerous as the desire between us.
