  He reverse-kidnaps me. Instead of snatching me away, the mafia boss moves into my house. Now he’s renovating to his luxury standards and looking at me like he wants to eat me whole. I nurse the kingpin’s gunshot wound in the hospital, and when I’m done, he asks me to quit, and work for him instead. I refuse, and when he threatens to kidnap me, I point out that’s hardly likely to make me be careful when changing his dressings. I think that’s the end. A heart-pounding encounter with an older, powerful, dangerous man. Until I get back to my house share, and discover he’s bought the entire building and moved in upstairs. At first, I clean his wounds. But it’s not long before the kingpin wants more . Kept by the Kingpin is a sweet and spicy age gap romance with a mafia boss obsessed with spoiling his innocent girl.

  I’ve always been uncomfortably close with death. From losing my other half before either of us could drive, to my mother’s act of “mercy” that nearly took me to my own grave with her, death has never been something I could escape. Now, I work at Kindred Pines Mortuary, surrounded by the dead while haunted by the ghosts I can’t bury. Somehow, he knows death just as well as I do. Maybe better. When I discover that a local suicide was actually murder, I never suspect the killer is close enough to know who cried wolf. Not until he makes me part of his game—and forces me to play by his rules. The more he pushes me toward my own broken edges, the more I realize how perfectly they fit against his. His obsession with death awakens something dark in me. Something I know I shouldn’t want. Something I may never recover from if I let it take root. Maybe after all these years of holding death at arm’s length, it’s time to stop fighting. To stop fighting him. And let him stoke the flames of m...
