Her Mafia Boss

Bianca Cole

I made a mistake, and now he wants to punish me. 
Everyone knows better than to steal from a Romano, but I was desperate. I was so close to getting away with it as well. I had one foot out the door, and I was hauled back into the club by security. 
When Leo Romano steps in to the office, I know I’m a dead woman. There’s no escape. They tied me to this chair, and I can’t get myself out. The look in his eyes sends shivers down my spine and it doesn’t help that Leo is drop-dead gorgeous. Expecting the worst, I can barely watch as he walks toward me. Until he has me over his knee, I shouldn’t like it, but I do. Before long, I’m begging the crime underboss to punish me any chance I get. He tells me I’m his now to punish for as long as he likes, that’s the deal—I hope this punishment goes on forever. 
Her Mafia Boss is the second book in the Romano Mafia Brothers Series. It's a safe story with no cliffhanger, a HEA and no cheating. This story has hot scenes, dark themes, and bad language.
