MINE PAST MIDNIGHT

By day, she's his prisoner. After midnight, she's his.

Wren Halloran has spent twenty-four years playing it safe. When a job interpreting a "private art sale" offers enough money to erase her family's debts, she takes the first risk of her life.

Then she overhears what the men at the table say in a Sicilian dialect they assume she can't follow. At midnight on the thirtieth night from now, at the annual gathering of the Castellane family, the old boss will die and his heir, Nico, will take the blame.

Wren is the only witness. Nico finds her before his enemies do.

He doesn't hand her over. He locks her inside his waterfront estate and sets one rule: the door between their rooms stays bolted all day and opens at midnight, and only she decides whether to walk through it.

Nico has never asked for anything. Now he waits every night for a knock. And every night Wren learns how far she'll go, how much she's been holding back, and how dangerous it is to want the man who holds the key.

But the clock is running. Thirty nights until the coup. Thirty nights to expose a traitor. And Nico's possessiveness is turning into something neither of them can control.

Some men keep you until midnight. He intends to keep you forever.

Mine Past Midnight is a standalone dark mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
