The Underboss's Exception

I came to Dante Moretti's casino to buy back my father's debts. I have seventy-two hours before my family loses everything—and the man across the table helped bring us to our knees. Chicago's ruthless underboss catches me cheating. Then he slides another fortune into my reach. Seven years ago, I knew what it meant when Dante said my name. Now every favor feels like a trap, and every glance reminds me how much I still want him. When he raises the stakes to a private, winner-takes-all game between our families, I refuse to let him decide my future. But before I risk everything on the next hand, I need to know: why does the man who never grants mercy keep making an exception for me? A closed-door mafia romance with a happily ever after.
