This book was a good mafia read with a ton of spice. The author explores pleasure/pain and BDSM. Our MMC, a mafia prince, embodies the touch her and ☠️ characteristic.

Ava grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. She has a hard life, a sharp tongue, and a resilient spirit. Renzo, our mafia prince, shows up at her step-father’s store one day to settle a debt. Lucky for him, Ava is offered as payment.

There are some unexpected twists and turns that end with a HEA (though there are some loose ends left untied to lead us into book 2?!).

I would have loved for this to go through just one more round of editing to catch a few grammatical/wrong word errors.
