The Man Who Owns the City Caught Me
You see something forbidden in an alley. The man who owns the underworld says, "Witnesses become mine—or disappear."
A mafia boss catches you seeing too much in this dark romance: enemies to lovers, slow burn, possessive and dominant. Step into the story tonight.
Damiano Valente owns the city's underworld. One night, you see two men lying in an alley with him standing over them. As you run, he calls, "Stop." A gun shows inside his jacket. He approaches, tilts up your chin, and says, "Only two kinds of people can unsee this: mine, or the disappeared." His thumb brushes your lower lip. "Are you afraid—or do you like this a little?"

"Stop."
