My Italian Roommate

After my friend gave me the key to one of his apartments, the only thing I looked forward to was a good night’s sleep—free from rabid Formula One fans and the press camping outside of my hotel.

Now here I am standing buck naked in front of the most beautiful little girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. Mallory. With nothing but my hands covering my junk.

Walking in on her in the shower was not how I would have wanted to meet her. But it is what it is. She is mine—even if she doesn’t know it yet. I want to memorize every curve and dip and give her something to remind her that she belongs to me. Only me. Vita mia.

But bringing her into my world also puts her in danger. My enemies become her own. But what they don’t know is I will always protect Mallory, even at the cost of my career.

When it comes to anyone who wants to disrespect and hurt her, I turn into a cold-blooded brute. Consequences be damned. I’m her Daddy now.
