Y/n thought losing a stupid party game would be the most embarrassing thing that happened to her that night. She was wrong. Her dare was simple: kiss the most dangerous man in the bar for three minutes. She picked the stranger sitting alone in the corner. Matteo Accardi. Cold. Beautiful. Untouchable. A man whose name she didn’t know—and probably should have. Three minutes becomes an entire night neither of them can forget. By morning, y/n slips away before learning the stranger’s identity. Then the city goes into lockdown. Her sister calls in a panic. “Y/n, that man you kissed? That’s Matteo Accardi. New York’s Mafia king. And he’s tearing the city apart looking for you.” Suddenly, y/n realizes the man she thought was a mysterious stranger isn’t just dangerous. He’s the most powerful criminal in New York. And somehow, he wants her. The problem? Matteo isn’t searching for her because he’s angry. He’s searching because the moment y/n walked away, he decided she was the one thing in his world he couldn’t afford to lose.
