How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Excerpt: His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. “Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.” * Synopsis: A tumultuous childhood made Sophia fight that much harder for peace in her adulthood. Yet it would take only one meeting to shatter the average life she led as a successful bakery owner in the center of New Vista. She found him on a pile of garbage in an alley, bleeding from a head wound. After taking him to the hospital, he woke up not knowing who he was. The hospital referred to him as “John Doe”. While navigating her fresh breakup, the mystery man became her source of distraction and comfort. He has a far more tender and doting side than she ever expected. Is he only like this with her? The longer he stayed by her side, the more change she noticed within herself. There’s an undeniable pull between the two of them. Call it instincts or attraction, it felt like something she couldn’t ignore. The more time they spend together, the stronger the pull becomes. When she finds out who he is, any shred of safety she had before seems to disappear as a target is put on her head. Mafia. Pheromones. Mate. Terms unfamiliar to her become the forefront of her problems. How are they supposed to explore their feelings when the world is intent on tearing them apart?

Social Chameleon

What Luca had expected when people were coming in to interview Sophia was her usual timid nature and the innocent-looking woman he had gotten used to. However, the woman who appeared before him as she sat on a wooden stool being asked questions while a photographer took pictures of her was confident and captivating.

Sophia seemed at ease as she went back and forth with the writer who was interviewing her. He sat at one of the tables while the photographer took pictures of her holding various desserts or simply standing there, being captivating enough all on her own.

Luca watched from behind the counter where he had pulled up a chair. The night before them was so fresh in his heart that it made him feel unsettled to watch her in that setting. The alpha within him was certainly a jealous bastard but he kept it to himself.
