Synopsis: He was supposed to kill me. I had done the unthinkable. I called the cops on him, on his family, but he let me live. We became friends, and then... we fell in love.
Lucy Ives is a foster kid, running from her turbulent past. On her first night in New York City, she accidentally calls the cops on the mafia. When their fixer comes to kill her, he spares her life in exchange for a favor--be his fake fiance or die.

Lucy is the female lead that is studying in biology. She has a past from being in the foster care system. Despite her baggage, she is very intelligent and beautiful. She goes with her roommate Aimee to a nightclub. There she witness a crime and reports it. As the events go, it turns out that the club is mafia oriented and Lucy literally put her life in danger. Asher Black, the owner of Black Enterprises is the clean up man for the Romano family. After her failed attempts to cover her tracks, Asher tracks her down and instead of getting rid of her he has a proposition.

The love of mafia stories drew me to this. I love reading about them and watching the movies. This story had all the elements that I love and then some. The physical attraction between the two was undeniable and had me anticipating. The two characters was so unique. Lucy being a great female lead and Asher being complex but understandable. Even the secondary characters added the flavor to the story.

This story had suspense, danger, lust, and humor. It was well rounded and had me wanting more. The writing was effortless and it flowed really great.

I loved the narration of the story. Her voice fit the tone of the story and her pacing was good. Her male voices were ok but the story was so good that it didn't really bother me.

Overall, I loved this story and the narration and I look forward to reading/listening to more from these two.

But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails.

I will admit I did have some kind of salty feelings going int
