Distance: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beneath the Mask)

About this book

Beneath the spotlight of the boxing ring, a world heavyweight champion hides a brutal truth: he is a monster bound by the rigid, violent laws of the mafia. Forced to compete to clear his debts, he lives a life of calculated danger and shadow. However, his carefully constructed walls begin to crumble when an enchanting British woman enters his world. Their connection is immediate and electric, yet it forces him into an impossible dilemma—he must choose between his own hard-won freedom and the safety of the woman who has unexpectedly captured his heart. She, meanwhile, is a woman who has sworn off men, convinced that fairytales are nothing more than cruel illusions. Having moved to New York to start anew, she finds herself unable to resist the mysterious fighter despite the warnings of her own intuition. As their worlds collide, the "mask" he wears begins to shatter, exposing the dark reality of his underground life. Now, she must decide if the love they’ve discovered is worth the lethal risk of being involved in his world. Can they overcome their deepest fears and the shadows of the mafia, or will the truth destroy the only happiness they have ever known?
