One Night with the Mafia Don

Mari Santos has never broken a rule in her life. Then one night, a coworker's dare sends the hotel housekeeper into an "empty" penthouse, and she finds a stranger awake in the dark, a man too tired to pretend. They talk until dawn. She stays the night.

By morning, he's gone, the wall safe is empty, and two million dollars has disappeared. Worse, the stranger is Adrian Castellane, the most feared mafia don in Philadelphia, and the hotel cameras show her walking in with a master key. Her little brother, the valet who propped open the door, has vanished.

Adrian gives Mari four weeks to bring her brother back, and until then she works in his mansion as his housekeeper. She has no way out, and the one man who could protect her is the one who wants her punished. But the man who couldn't sleep for years starts sleeping when she's near. And Mari remembers a sweet smell of peppermint, a silver ring, and a whispered word in the dark.

Someone close to Adrian planned that night. Now Mari must prove it before the family decides her fate, and before the secret she's keeping becomes impossible to hide.
