Nothing more.So, when the head of the Mancini crime family approaches me with an offer to marry his daughter in exchange for what I need to destroy my enemy, I accept.But when a woman I’ve never heard of shows up on the contract, questions arise.If forcing her hand in marriage is what it takes to get what I want, then so be it. A wife was never meant to be anything more than a business transaction. A means to an end.She might be easy on the eyes, a pretty little brunette with curves I want to sink myself into, but her sharp tongue and even sharper attitude may just be my undoing.I make it a point to know everyone I need to know in this world, so that begs the question—who the hell is this woman?Matteo is a dual POV mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and open-door spice.

All I wanted was one little kiss…from my best friend’s dad. It was a fantasy I knew would never come true–he was twenty years older than me and had never seen me as anything other than his daughter’s best friend. Kissing me, touching me, doing all the things I pleasured myself thinking about would not only risk his relationship with his daughter, it could ruin his reputation.But when our paths crossed at a masquerade ball and I realized he didn’t recognize me, I took my chance at the fantasy that had plagued me for years.My mistake was thinking he wouldn’t live up to my imagination, but as it turns out, one kiss would never be enough.For either of us.Only a Kiss is a super steamy age gap, forbidden romance with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
