The Story She Shouldn't Write: A Dark Mafia Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195443955)

She changed one word in his statement. He noticed.

Sloane Kovac has spent three years investigating the Chicago outfit. She knows the names, the structure, the money. What she doesn't know is that the man she is investigating has been reading her work since the beginning.

Nico Ferretti is the underboss. Precise, controlled, and entirely aware of every journalist who gets close enough to matter. When Sloane changes a word in a document she was never supposed to access, he doesn't shut her down.

He calls her.

What follows is not a source relationship. It is not a cooperation agreement. It is two people who are exceptionally good at reading each other, realising too late that reading someone carefully enough is its own kind of intimacy.

She is building the biggest story of her career. He is managing the most dangerous variable in his operation.

Neither of them planned for what managing becomes when the variable stops being manageable.

The Story She Shouldn't Write is Book 1 of The Underboss series, a slow burn dark mafia romance set in Chicago, where the investigation was never supposed to go this far.

Continues in Book 2: Off the Record.

Dark romance. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. Journalist and criminal. Intended for mature readers 18+.
