Big Trouble in a Little Mafia

By Tanvier Peart

A sexy, dark romantic comedy with violent shenanigans and a dangerous game of love and lust. After years of dedicating my life to a thankless job, I'm over Corporate America. I've endured enough-employees who only cared about my snacks and stress hemorrhoids-and I deserve a summer getaway to turn forty in sunshine. Not a syringe to the neck. The random housesitting opportunity I found is a reminder that "too good to be true" comes with a price. I never planned to get kidnapped in my bonnet, but what's an unemployed HR manager to do when two doses of mistaken identity land me in a crime boss's bed? A fine crime boss with an attitude and a ceiling mirror. I do what anyone would do: turn my lemons into seltz limone e sale and make him pay...literally. I'm enjoying my vacation one way or another, the threat of war with one of Sicily's biggest mafias be damned. Big Trouble in a Little Mafia is a standalone dark mafia rom-com about a fed-up heroine and a morally grey cinnamon roll hero with a kill container and a love language of cooking. Deception, secret identities, and a voluntold marriage of convenience weave together in picturesque scenes and a pleasure club for an unexpected happily-ever-after. There's some unaliving, but we make it funny (and put dogs in bulletproof vests). Tropes: ���� Mafia romance ���� Dark rom-com ���� Morally grey cinnamon roll ���� HR manager FMC ���� Mistaken identity ���� Voluntold marriage of convenience ���� Spicy shenanigans
