Keira Hawkins thought that the new library patron, Nate, was disgusted by the birthmark decorating her face. But then, he asked to go on a date with her during their next meeting. 

The innocence of love at the first sight turned dangerously annoying when Nate refused to leave her side.

Thankfully, with a mean slap to the face, done rightly in public by her mighty right hand, had rendered Nate to cease his nonsensical doings. 

And yet...

One unsuspecting morning, she woke up on the most comfortable bed, in an unfamiliar room, cradled in the arms of a gorgeous man she crowned as the most annoying patron of the week.

"You're the one who came to me," whispered Nathaniel Wolfe – the mafia lord who reigns over the east side of the country.

It wouldn't be easy to shake him off. 

Moreover when she found a locked door in the library basement - the entrance to where some lost treasures were hidden in the maze, or so Nate said. 

Intrigued, Keira joined Nate on his quest to find the lost treasures before another mafia family find it first.

Mafia Lord's Librarian: A Satire of Love at First Sight

Approximately half an hour after they saw the staff give Nate's folded secret message to Axel, they got a new companion on the balcony overlooking its ballroom.

They turned to face the caller, finding the city mayor, who was none other than the victim of the most annoying patron slash self-proclaimed mafia lord's ultimate prank.

"Oh, look at you, still breathing and alive. Well, don't be too happy, your age just decreased by a year. Perhaps you'll die next month." Nate patted his adoptive older brother, Axel, who was also the city mayor.

A strange way to say happy birthday, but if she were the recipient, she'd prefer the implied death threat than the horror waiting for him in the presidential suite's bedroom.

"Miss Hawkins, I'm glad you come too." A good handshake and perfect smile completed the polite greeting.

"Didn't I already say to call me Axel?"
