Sweet Love Mafia Web Novels & Protective Age Gap Stories

Elena, 24, creates a fake dating profile as a joke and unexpectedly catches the attention of Adrian, her best friend's powerful and intimidating older brother. What starts as a secret online connection becomes complicated when Adrian discovers her true identity. Instead of walking away, Adrian decides to get to know the real Elena—and their undeniable chemistry quickly turns the harmless catfishing game into something neither of them expected.

One night, after finishing her shift, Lena takes a shortcut home. She sees a black SUV parked in an abandoned industrial lot. Then she sees a man being dragged out. She watches Damien shoot him. She runs before anyone sees her. Or at least, that's what she believes. The following morning, strange men begin appearing around her. Outside the hospital. Near her apartment. Across from the club. At the grocery store. Lena becomes convinced someone is following her. She's right. But what she doesn't know is that Damien has known about her since the night of the murder. He could simply eliminate her. Instead, he discovers something unexpected: she hasn't told anyone. Not the police. Not her friends. Not even the doctors caring for her father. And when someone inside Damien's organization suggests killing her, Damien refuses. Because there is another solution. Marriage. If Lena becomes his wife, her testimony becomes considerably harder to use against him. So Damien gives her a choice that isn't really a choice: Marry him, and her father will receive the best medical care money can buy. Refuse, and Damien can no longer guarantee either of their safety. Lena despises him. Damien expects her to fear him. Neither expects to fall in love.

Angel Anzores was used by her aunt and uncle to pay off their debt after they hid her younger brother, Angelo, and threatened to sell him if she refused to comply. Left with no choice, the young woman had to obey the people who took them in after their parents died in a car accident. Salvatore Ravalli, known as "Tore" in the underground world, is a ruthless 35-year-old mafia leader to whom Angel's aunt and uncle owed money. He finds himself drawn to Angel. Will Angel be able to accept the man who initially threatened her using her own brother's life? What will Salvatore do when Angel discovers that he was involved in the accident that claimed her parents' lives, leading her and her brother into the life given to them by their so-called guardians? Can Salvatore save the woman he loves from the clutches of his equally ruthless enemies?
