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.

She placed her hand on Nate's forearm, rousing him from the light sleep he was under while they were waiting for their mechanic. "Wake up, there's something approaching."

Darkness enveloped them, so the two red lights soon floating closer brought a shiver to run down her entire body. Goosebumps raised, fear settling in.

"Nate," she called again, shaking his shoulder now.

The sleeping mafia lord grunted, still not moving from burying his face on top of the crossed arms he placed on the wheel.

"Nate, please, there's something out there," she urged him again, resulting in a rustle as he finally turned to look at her.

Bleary eyes opened to meet her frantic wide eyes. "Wha..?" he croaked.
