The Don’s Surgeon

He saves lives in rooms that don't exist. She decides who walks out of them.

For three years, Daniel Cole has been the mafia's secret surgeon — pulling bullets from men whose names he's not allowed to know, in back rooms that leave no record. He gave up the daylight. He gave up his name in the medical journals. He gave up everything but his hands.

The only constant in the dark is her.

The woman who appears at the edge of his surgical light like weather. The voice with no edges that tells him a dying man will live before Daniel believes it himself. She set his terms. She chose him. She has never once told him her name — and after three years on her leash, Daniel has stopped pretending he doesn't wait for her like a man rationing water.

He thinks she speaks for the boss.

He has no idea she is the boss.

Lia Ferro has ruled an empire from behind a phantom for eleven years — a dead man's reputation worn like armor, because in her world a woman who is known is a woman who is dead. She built the best wall in the city. She let exactly one person start to find the door.

Now her secret is cracking, a rival family is circling, and the one man who could destroy her is the one she'd burn the whole organization down to protect. When the truth detonates, Daniel will have to decide whether the woman who held his leash was ever really his captor — and Lia will have to choose between the wall that's kept her alive and the surgeon who's the first person in thirty years to make her want to live.

Forbidden. Forced-proximity. An age-gap that runs the wrong way and burns hotter for it. A captive hero who stopped wanting to escape and a female crime boss who never learned how to be loved.

The Don's Surgeon is a scorching, emotional, standalone dark mafia romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
