What All He'll Ever Be is like to read

A dark, obsessive mafia retelling of Beauty and the Beast, told in alternating first-person present between a ruthless crime lord and the enemy's daughter he claims as his own. Heat-forward and possessive, with captivity, violence, and a slow thaw toward a hard-won HEA. Best for: readers who want dark mafia romance with morally gray captor heroes and an eventual HEA.
