Owned By The Boss

A Romance Elena Rossi built her life on numbers because numbers don't lie, don't charm, and never ask you to trust them with anything. Then a debt she never created lands on her desk - stamped with a name every accountant in the city has been taught to fear. Damiano Vitale doesn't collect debts the way his father did. He collects them the way he does everything: quietly, precisely, and on his own terms. When he offers Elena a way to clear her late father's obligation to his family, it isn't mercy - it's an arrangement. Six months. Her expertise for her freedom. Move into his compound, keep his ledgers clean, keep her mouth shut about everything else. She tells herself it's just a job. But the closer she gets to the truth behind the Vitale family's carefully guarded accounts, the more she uncovers about the man running them - a boss who has spent his whole life trying not to become his father, and is losing that fight the moment he lets himself want her. When a rival family decides Elena is the perfect weapon to use against him, Damiano will have to choose between the empire that made him and the one thing he was never supposed to want to keep. She came to settle a debt. She's about to become the one thing he refuses to lose. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with forced proximity, a devoted boss who runs out of reasons to resist, and a heroine who never once lets him get away with hiding behind the ledgers.
