“Come With Me To My Ex’s Award Gala”—The Mafia Boss Said Yes… Then He Heard Who Took Credit...

What would you do if your ex accepted a prestigious award for the work that nearly cost you your career? And what if the mysterious stranger you invited as your fake date turned out to be the most feared Mafia boss in the room? Beautiful restoration architect Olivia Kane never planned to confront Julian Mercer at the glamorous award gala celebrating the historic hotel she helped save. She only wanted to prove that he could no longer make her feel small. Then she meets Vincent Moretti, a quiet and dangerously powerful Mafia boss who agrees to accompany her for reasons of his own. What begins as a reckless fake-date arrangement becomes a slow-burn mafia romance filled with stolen credit, public humiliation, dangerous business secrets, sharp banter, unexpected loyalty, and one unforgettable night that forces Olivia to decide whether she still needs her ex’s approval at all. • Olivia enters her ex-boyfriend’s prestigious award gala beside Vincent Moretti, unaware that half the room already knows exactly how dangerous her mysterious date really is. • When Julian publicly takes credit for Olivia’s restoration work, Vincent refuses to fight her battle for her—and gives Olivia the chance to reclaim her name, her career, and her confidence in front of everyone. • After Vincent reveals that he also came to the gala with a hidden agenda, their fake relationship becomes something neither of them expected when Olivia realizes the most powerful thing he can offer her is not protection, but the freedom to choose him for herself.
