The Capo's Temptation

She agreed to marry a stranger. She didn't know she was marrying the man who saved her life.
Six years ago, Katarina Voss was nineteen and cornered in a dark hallway at a party in River North. A quiet voice said she's with me — and just like that, the danger was gone. So was he. No name. No number. Just the memory of a man who saw her clearly and asked for nothing in return.
She never forgot him.
Now twenty-five and backed into yet another corner — this time by a stalker ex she can't shake and a family arrangement she didn't choose — Kat sits across a dinner table and comes face to face with Michael Cassia. Capo. Powerbroker. The man from the hallway. And he doesn't remember her at all.
Michael Cassia doesn't do sentiment. He agreed to this arranged marriage for alliance, strategy, and the quiet rumor that the girl was in trouble. He's spent twelve years making himself untouchable — controlled, precise, armored against anything that could cost him. A twenty-five-year-old graphic designer with two plants named Margaret and Earl was not supposed to be a problem.
She is the only problem he's never been able to solve.
What begins as a business arrangement inside a Lincoln Park townhouse slowly becomes something neither of them planned for — slow mornings with oat milk, a drafting table moved with care, words left unsaid growing too heavy to carry. Kat is done shrinking herself to fit other people's spaces. Michael is learning that twelve years of walls don't fall all at once, but they do fall.
The Capo's Temptation is a forbidden age gap mafia romance about a woman who finally takes up space — and the man who's been saving a place for her all along.
For readers who love slow-burn tension, arranged marriage romance, a mafia boss who uses restraint as a love language, and an ending that earns every page that came before it.
