Poppy Brooks, who’d ditched the mafia she was tied to in pursuit of a normal life as a caregiver, is suddenly hired by a wealthy man, who needed a caregiver for a strange severe case of migraines.  

She accepts the job, unaware of what she is getting into. What this man is, she had no idea. The weird connection she has with him, or his unlike-human behavior at times, none of them makes sense to her. 

He is the devil, some would say.  
.
.
Xavian Winslow, an alpha who ditched his pack to stay on the other side among humans, is suffering from a cursed migraine, one that affects his daily life. What he needed as a caregiver was a human who didn’t have anything to do with him, not in any way. 

For a man who’d had a first mate who died on him, a second mate was very much impossible. 
But would that still be the case when he meets Poppy Brooks, his caregiver?  

What will he do when he is left with a choice: reject her to protect her or risk losing her completely to the hands of his kind, who forbade mating with humans? 

Will he keep her regardless, or let go? And what happens when he discovers that Poppy, who he’d thought was nothing but a caregiver, is one way or another related to the mafia? A group of humans who he despised with every fiber in him?

The Alpha’s Caregiver is a Mafia

Poppy pushed the door of the bar open and stepped inside. She moved further in and halted when she caught sight of Felix, who was seated at the counter, taking a puff of a cigarette.

She sighed softly and walked over, sitting next to him.

He glanced at her. "Thought you were never coming."

"Why are you smoking again?" she asked, reaching to grab the cig from him, but he slapped her hand away. "Look at you, Felix. You're not even getting enough sleep. You always have eye bags under your eyes. Is something wrong? Do you need help with anything? I'm a caregiver, you know, and if you're—"

"But you're not. I've known you since I was little, and you just…you just started going down a spiral like this right in front of my eyes. You won't tell me anything, so I don't know what the problem or whatever is burdening you so much that you had to give in to smoking."
