Dark Romance Web Novels & Mafia First Love Stories

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.
