The Mafia Daddy's Forbidden Little Witness
(2026)(Book 41 in the Mafia Daddies Ruthless Possession series)
A novel by Jess Winters
They sent a photo of me — pigtails, Mr. Office peeking from my bag — with the caption: "Nice company." My hands went cold. My life spun.
Salvatore Marino: scar along his jaw, coat like armor, woodsmoke and citrus when he breathes. He moves like he owns the quiet. He steadies me. He scares the hell out of me and makes me want to curl into the small parts of myself and hand them to him.
He caught me in a courthouse scrum and fixed the bow on my bear like it mattered. He walked me to a cab, then into his suite when someone slid a threatening note under my car. He ran baths, tied pigtails, made sticker charts, and taught me to say Red, Yellow, Green. He made rules and promises. He signed legal paperwork. He put my silly heart on his fridge. He called men and lawyers and dragged the smear into the light. He hunts. He protects. He rips down cameras with his silence.
Now I have to choose. Hide the things that keep me whole and save my career…or let him fight in public and risk being exposed, humiliated, owned by a headline.
He says he will keep me safe. He says he’ll fight. But will his war cost me everything I am?
