The Mafia Playboy‘s Act Ends With Me

Ella bargains with ex-fiancé Dean, a mafia boss, trading kisses for her company's survival.

After vanishing from her own wedding to New York's leading crime lord, Ella reappears three years later desperate to rescue her failing family enterprise. Dean, the man she abandoned, seizes the upper hand and forces a bargain that starts with a single kiss on his desk. She assumes the obligation ends there, yet his smirk signals that the first payment merely unlocks a string of escalating demands she never expected.
