Three years ago, Joanna Tinsley stole $1.5 million from Declan O’Connor.
She also stole his heart.
When she runs into him while casing a new heist, she knows she’s in trouble. The head of the Irish family never forgets a debt.
Except when Declan catches her he offers her a he’ll help her with her current heist, and afterward she’ll belong to him for 30 days. When the time is up, he’ll consider them even.
When the heist is done, Joanna tries to run but Declan outsmarts her and takes her away. 30 days with no one but Declan in the isolated Catskills. How could she not start to fall?
But Joanna’s theft catches dangerous attention, and if she won’t choose him now, Declan might run out of time to make the woman of his dreams the queen by his side.

The best way I can describe this book is a part Mafia Romance, part Cozy Forced Proximity. I really haven't read a story quite like it before. I enjoyed myself so much!
It has a grifter, a mafia boss, a kidnapping, and a secluded mountain hideaway. If you are a fan of an obsessed hero who is bent on convincing his woman to love him.. Declan is your man!
Declan O'Connor is completely swept off his feet when Joanna Tinsley steals $1.5 Million from him. Instead of being bent on killing her, like most men in the Mafia would be, he is determined to win her as his Queen. So he embarks on a three-year long journey to get her to give him a chance.
Honestly, this was just so charming. I was rooting for Declan but I understood Joanna's hesitation. Especially when he kidnaps her and takes her away to convince her they are meant to be. However, he is so earnest, it's hard not to be charmed by him.
This was a verrryyy slow burn. I was getting a tad frustrated with Joanna by a certain point. Not that women shouldn't have standards but, come on girl, you're a criminal too. Let's not not pretend you're too good for a Mafia King. lols!
At the end of it all, this is a *fairly* light-hearted Mafia tale. It's still a Dark Romance for content, but I truly do see this as a "Cozy" Mafia Romance. If you just let that be your mindset, I think this will be everything you are looking for.
4 stars
2.5 on the spice scale
CW: kidnapping, mentions of SA (historical and not to FMC), parental neglect and abuse, murder, organized crime
*Thank you to the author for an ARC of this title. Fair warning, I am friends with her but my opinions are my own.*

This was quite a unique spin on things. It was like mafia meets a heist but at the same time was overall a very cute and cosy vibe.
