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

Three hours into driving the stolen – borrowed – blue BMW from that fast food chain restaurant, Keira admitted that she could still clearly hear the resonating doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo.

By the scowl Nate sported beside her, the very original background music of a Baby Shark also played on repeat in his head. Depressing, indeed.

Another five hours on the road and the faint Baby Shark finally ceased to exist, living rent-free in their brain.

"I think we should stay here," Keira said as they finally reached Fargo. "You need the rest."

Nate nodded. She made sure that the room he booked earlier was correct.

'Two Presidential Suites for Mr. Wolfe and Miss Hawkins, respectively,' the hotel's receptionist had said when she phoned them to ask about it.

Keira had no plan of sharing a room with the mafia lord again. Who knows what he would do next, stripping bare before her eyes, probably.
