The Mafia Prince's Auction (Fake Dating Forced Proximity)

I accidentally became the highest bidder at a bachelor auction—and won myself a dangerously sexy mafia prince.

I'm chasing a lead that could change my career.

Next, I become the winning bidder for Elio Romano, the heir to one of the country's most powerful mafia families.

He's arrogant, infuriating, and handsome for his own good.

And he's mine for one week.

Every lingering glance, every possessive touch, every explosive argument intensifies the heat between us.

Beneath the glow of the lamp, he traces his thumb along my jaw, his touch gentle. His eyes hold mine, and with every heartbeat, the distance between us disappears.

But falling for Elio Romano could cost me everything.

I thought he was a spoiled mafia playboy. Arrogant. Reckless. Untouchable.

Then someone tries to kill me... and I discover every rumor about him was a carefully crafted lie.

Behind the charm, the wicked smile, and razor-sharp sarcasm is a man who would burn the world to keep me safe.

Even if it means starting a war.
