MIA
––––––––
Oh God! Donna is goingto kill me. She’ll have to hurry, as Connor Barrett looks like he’s two steps ahead of her.
Then he smirks at me.
Holy fuck.
Connor Barrett doesn’t smile. He was on the cover ofForbesonce, and it was obvious the photographer had asked him to smile, but Connor just looked like he was snarling.
His smirk is different, and it just lights my panties on fire.
I stare up at those lopsided lips, square jaw, and deep chocolate eyes—full of thoughts I’m sure most women would give anything to experience—and realize Connor Barrett is a sex god.
Damn.
Until this week, I never thought I’d be standing in front of the dark-haired and ridiculously handsome man. When Donna asked who wanted to greet the billionaire when he arrived, all the girls on the team turned into something resembling a teen reality show.
I sighed and said I would do it.
“Thank you, Mia,” Donna, my manager, had said. “I’m sure he won’t bite.”
Staring into his eyes, I’m pretty sure he does, and although I’m not in the market for a one-night stand, I think I’d be very okay with him biting me.
Anywhere.
Powerful men don’t scare me. Okay, theydoscare me, but just the right amount, according to the situation.
This isn’t one of them.
Mr. Sex-God Barrett isn’t a threat to me.
My panties? Oh yes.
I’ve grown up around much more dangerous men than Connor, and all of them would give their lives to save me. Or rather, save themselves.
My name is Mia Mancini. Daughter of Joseph, or Joe “The Rock”, Mancini, head of the Italian mafia here in the United States. He’s one of seven bosses affiliated with the global Italian mafia.
In other words, he’s a big deal.
And yes, that makes me the mafia princess.
Unfortunately.
I’d rather be just an everyday girl, working and paying my taxes, dating and shopping at Walmart. Which I do, but it’s a farce and very, very temporary.
When I left college two years ago, Father agreed, after a lot of crying and screaming, to let me go out into the world and get some work experience. My mother had died a few years earlier, and I played the card hard. You have to do what you can in the gangster world to survive. I might not like the world I grew up in, but I learned a thing or two.
I have my own apartment, a job at Bloom Events Management, friends...and no one knows who I am.
Not even Donna.
I’m just Mia.
