The Ruthless Guardian's Obsession: A Forced Proximity Dark Mafia Romance

By Sofia Ryder

AMAZON BESTSELLER in Mafia Romance & Enemies to Lovers Romance

I went undercover to find my brother's killer, but the brooding, battle-scarred head of security pinned me against a wall and ruined me first.

Luca Morelli is silver-streaked, lethally protective, and loyal to the mafia family I suspect murdered my brother eleven years ago.

He's cold commands and dangerous restraint. I'm sarcasm wrapped in secrets that could destroy both of us.

Then everything explodes.

We're on the run together-hiding in the dark, his body pressed against mine, his mouth swallowing my moans while enemies hunt us outside.

He tends my wounds with hands that have killed. He looks at me like I'm worth burning his whole world down for.

Luca makes me beg before making me shatter. His touch has me forgetting why I came here in the first place.

By the time I realize I've fallen, I'm already drowning.

But someone is watching.

Someone knows exactly who I am.

And when my secrets come out, the man warming my bed will be my executioner.
