4/5⭐️

This is a dark, mysterious, smutty read and I loved it!

Dr Angela was kidnapped and forced to save a life.

And her life changed forever when she was asked to choose her payment, in silver or lead.

Mafia, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, found family, he falls first - its all here, wrapped up in spicy slow burn wrapping paper!!!

Listened to the audiobook and guys, wow. JUST WOW. I raced off to read book two in a HEARTBEAT.

Well, that was a good read. Did not expect the conflicts or the banter. Found myself chuckling out loud a few times. Looking forward to the next one 😀
