Lights Out meets the Kings of Sin series in this mafia romantic comedy. A lighthearted romance with banter, action, and a side of mystery.
A love story has never been more corrupted.
Parker Mills took over as CEO of Regenerative Industries after a scandal and subsequent trial left his brother unwilling to continue running the company. With only a high school diploma and a modeling portfolio, Parker works hard to be taken seriously. He fights his father's disapproval and a world that believes the company will tank in six months. No critic is harsher than his ferocious, intelligent, and attractive CFO, though.
Noell is cold, hard, and good with numbers. She fits her role perfectly, making sure Regenerative Industries stays afloat. She is the backbone of the company, and everyone knows it. But she has a secret. A secret that could destroy her and the company. One she is desperate to keep hidden, no matter the cost.
When Parker is kidnapped under mysterious circumstances, Noell knows she's the only one who can save him, but doing so means revealing her long-held family secret. She must contend with a past full of corruption and betrayal, fight her growing feelings for Parker, and save the company she's found a home in.
The question is, how deep does the corruption run?

Beta reader here. In it rough version- it’s 5 stars! It has everything you’d expect of a mob/crime romance but with unexpected items. Love Parker. Such a sweet guy. Noell is mysterious and a strong woman. It has the drama, the tension, and build up to the breaking point is well paced. Can’t wait to see it in its final version!
