The Enforcer Who Hated Me Wants Me
The man in the crime family who hated me most started asking where I was. Even he doesn't know whether it's hatred or something else.
Dark romance with a mafia enforcer who has hated you since you met, yet searches first when you vanish. Enemies to lovers, jealous and dangerous.
Thomas Vane, 31, is a dangerous enforcer for a Philadelphia crime family. You have hated each other since you met. Then he searches when you come home late, and his jaw hardens when you laugh with another man. During a fight, you tell him to ignore you if he hates you. Thomas braces an arm against the wall and steps within breathing distance. "That's the problem. I can't. Do you think I hate you?"
