Checking It Twice: A BWWM Dark Mafia Christmas Romance
He’s making a list. He’s checking it twice. And I just put myself at the very top of the Naughty column.
I am a forensic accountant. I live by rules, logic, and ledgers. But when a faceless corporation steals my dying sister’s pension, I decide to break every rule in the book. I hack their system, steal the money back, and cover my tracks with an elegant ghost script.
I thought I was Robin Hood. I was wrong.
I didn’t rob a bank. I robbed Nikolai "Saint" Santoro.
Saint isn’t a CEO. He’s the scarred, ruthless head of a global weapons syndicate operating out of a hidden fortress in the frozen Yukon. He doesn't call the police; he sends men in black vans. Now, I’m not just a thief; I’m a witness, a liability, and a prisoner in his high-tech castle at the top of the world.
He should have killed me. Instead, he offers me a Fix his books and find the traitor bleeding his empire dry, and he’ll let me live.
I should be terrified. I’m trapped in the middle of a blizzard with a monster. But as the fire roars and the enemies close in, I realize Saint doesn’t just want my mind. He wants my submission. He protects me with his body, stitches my wounds with his own hands, and looks at me with a dark hunger that melts the ice in my veins.
I stole his money. He stole my freedom. But if we want to survive the holidays, I might have to let him steal my heart, too.
CHECKING IT TWICE is a standalone BWWM Dark Mafia Holiday Romance. Expect a scarred anti-hero, a brilliant heroine, high-stakes hacking, forced proximity in a snowy cabin, and a "Touch Her and Die" vibe that will melt your kindle. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a Happily Ever After that’s darker than a lump of coal.

Suspenseful, intriguing and romantic. Despite being kidnapped and isolated I enjoyed how Nia kept her dignity through her intelligence, wit and survival instincts.
It was interesting exploring Saint’s struggle to maintain his sense of self and purpose especially when Nia challenged him emotionally, intellectually and relationally .
Well written and kept my interest.
