A Dark Mafia Romance: Masked Stranger, Age Gap, Forced Proximity

By: Helena Von Heilig

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The man who holds her father's debt doesn't want the money. He wants a year of her.

Elara Voss has been the only adult in the room since she was a child, managing her father's disasters with a spreadsheet and a refusal to flinch. So when Viktor gambles away more than she can ever cover, she does what she always does. She finds the terms.

One year. Masked. At a private estate. By a contract she negotiates herself, in writing, that she can end with a single word.

She signs.

What she does not know is that the man behind the mask runs the company where she just started her first real job. That he is the most dangerous man in the city, and the most precise. And that he has known exactly who she is since before she walked into the room.

He knows. She does not.

And when Elara finally assembles the truth, she will not cry and she will not run. She will build a timeline. Because the most dangerous thing a woman this exact can do to a man who thought he held all the leverage is stay.

Dark mafia romance. A possessive anti-hero with a code, a dual-identity arrangement with teeth, and a heroine sharper than everyone in the room. Book One of a complete duology.
