I don't follow rules. I won't do as I'm told. And I'm definitely not going to change just because a mafia hitman commands me to.

Damian Sorrento might be a mafia hitman, and I might be working as a kitchen-hand at his restaurant, but the a*shole chef has got it in for me – and I'm determined to give him a taste of his own medicine, no matter the risk.

But when Damian catches me in the act of revenge, I know that my life won't be the same again. Damian could have killed me, but he didn't. Instead I must to do his every bidding and take my punishment no questions asked. But the one thing I won't do is truly submit to Damian – even if he does turn me on more than any man I've ever met.

Suddenly I'm involved in a world of guns, murder, and the most possessive and dominant mafia men in the city. My life is in the hands of the one man who I know could kill me without a second thought. Damian Sorrento is my Deadly Protector and I might not have any other choice but to get down on my knees and serve him.

What to expect: Deadly Protector is a standalone MM mafia romance featuring Dom/sub, age gap, impact play, k!nk, and plenty of spanking. There will be a hostage situation, some graphic violence, and a smattering of humor along the way too as we head toward a well-earned and blood-splattered HEA.
