He saved my life—and he wants a kiss as payment.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and a group of thugs dragged me down an alleyway. I tried to invoke fear by telling them exactly who I was, Carmen Barsetti, the daughter of Cane Barsetti. But my name didn’t protect me—only his did.

Just his presence made them scatter like rats in a sewer. Then he looks me up and down with those hard eyes—and he likes what he sees. “You want to thank me, sweetheart? I want a kiss.” In a tight leather jacket that hugs his thick arms and powerful shoulders, he backs me up into the wall and draws close. “That mouth. That’s what I want.”

It was supposed to just be a kiss—but we do a lot more than that. I pay my debt and try to walk away, but Bosco Roth has other plans. “I’ve changed my mind. I want more.”

Now I’m in indebted to this man—and I never want to be debt-free.
