Elijah Sinclair is the youngest and most ruthless CEO in the city, known for his arrogance, cunning business tactics, and an ego the size of his billion-dollar empire. He doesn't take no for an answer—until he crosses paths with a dangerous man who couldn't care less about his money or influence.

Dante Moretti, the feared heir to the Moretti Mafia, is cold, merciless, and used to people cowering before him. That is until he meets Elijah, a man who refuses to back down, even when a gun is pointed at his head. What starts as a dangerous game of threats and defiance soon turns into something neither of them expected—attraction.

Now, with both their worlds colliding, Elijah finds himself in the middle of a deadly mafia war, and Dante finds himself doing something he swore he never would—falling for a cocky CEO who makes his blood boil in more ways than one.

Will their love survive betrayal, gunfire, and a whole lot of stubborn pride? Or will their worlds tear them apart before they can even admit their feelings?

Excerpt:

Elijah took a leisurely sip of his whiskey, completely unfazed by the armed men surrounding him. "You know," he mused, swirling the amber liquid in his glass, "when someone invites me to a meeting, I usually expect dinner. Not death threats."

Dante leaned forward, his dark eyes gleaming with amusement. "Most men would be begging for their lives right now."

"Most men aren’t me." Elijah smirked.

A slow grin spread across Dante's face. "You're either fearless or an idiot, Sinclair."

"Or maybe I just enjoy pissing off men with superiority complexes."

A chuckle rumbled from Dante’s chest. Dangerous. Deep. Amused. "I should kill you for that."

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "You won’t."

Dante tilted his head. "Oh? And why not?"

Elijah leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Because I think you like me, Moretti."

For the first time in years, Dante was speechless.

And that was how Elijah Sinclair, the most arrogant CEO in the city, became the unexpected obsession of the Mafia’s most feared heir.

The Mafia's Boyfriend or The Dangerous Lover

But when Dante's lips pressed against his, firm and demanding, logic shattered like glass.

He didn't push him away. Didn't fight.

Dante groaned against his mouth, his hands gripping Elijah's waist, fingers digging into his hips like he owned him. Elijah hated how much he liked it.

The kiss turned desperate—needy. Their bodies pressed together, heat crackling between them like wildfire. Elijah's hands found their way to Dante's hair, tugging hard enough to earn a low growl from the mafia boss.

Dante retaliated by pinning him against the wall, his knee sliding between Elijah's legs, pressing just enough to make him gasp.

"You're playing a dangerous game, tesoro," Dante murmured against his lips.

Elijah smirked, breathless. "Then don't play."

Dante let out a dark chuckle. "Too late for that."

Before Elijah could respond, Dante's mouth was on his neck, teeth grazing, tongue teasing, leaving heat in its wake. Elijah clenched his jaw, refusing to let out the sound building in his throat.

"Don't hold back," he whispered, voice laced with amusement. "I want to hear you."

Elijah's nails raked down Dante's back in response, his breath hitching as the mafia boss pressed closer, as if trying to consume him whole.

A sharp knock at the door shattered the moment.

Elijah cursed under his breath, pushing Dante away with more force than necessary. Dante licked his lips, still smirking, completely unbothered by the interruption.

Elijah straightened his clothes, trying to ignore the way his body still burned. He shot Dante a glare before heading to the door, composing himself in record time.

When he opened it, his assistant stood there, eyes darting between Elijah and the man still leaning lazily against the wall.

"Sir," she said carefully, clearly sensing the tension. "There's… been an incident."

He turned to Dante, whose expression had darkened instantly.

It's still lingering somewhere in their hearts and they know it.

They know the tension between them.

Dante knows sooner or later he's going to fall deeply in love with Elijah and he has a feeling in his heart that Elijah Sinclair might be in love with him too but they're not reacting to their feelings for each other.
