Vin
Nicole Fox - 2019
I was drowning in debt with no way to get out. All I had left was my body… Until Vin took that from me, too. He offered me protection from my abusive ex. And saying no to Vin was never an option. Now, I’m at the mercy of a mob boss. A vicious killer, with a kiss as filthy as his reputation. Nights in his bed are spent stripping bare, bending at the waist, and doing EXACTLY as I’m told. And days by his side are spent seeing a criminal underworld I never knew existed. For a moment, I thought this was my life now: Existing only for the mobster’s pleasure. But then my ex came back to finish the job he started, and I remembered: This nightmare is far from over.
VIN is a full length standalone heist, mafia romance. It follows a desperate girl who falls into the arms of a vicious mob boss. Their story is SAFE (no cheating, no cliffhangers, HEA ending), but does contain physical intimacy and violence. Enjoy!
