The night I lie for a mafia boss, I become his.
For three months, Ivan Petrov comes to my diner at 3 AM—black coffee, hundred-dollar tip, eyes like a storm. No small talk. But when he stumbles in bleeding with sirens closing in, everything changes. "Lock the door. Tell them I was here all night." The words bind us forever. Now I'm his alibi, his obsession, the weakness he'll burn city to protect. "You lied for me," he growls, trapping me against the counter. "That makes you mine." And every night, he proves it. The Devil's Alibi is a standalone, dual POV, forced proximity, dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, "touch her & I'll unalive you" type anti-hero and a feisty, smart heroine. No other woman drama, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won HEA.
