The Don and The Debt

A Dark Mafia Romance (The Collectors Book 1)

By: Pippa Farthingale

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He bought my debt. Now he owns my time.

Valia Hunt has three days to save her father’s crumbling logistics company, or the loan sharks will come for blood. When she returns to her office to find the door kicked in, she expects violence.

She doesn't expect him.

Garret Cross is a myth in the underworld—a corporate fixer for the mob who doesn't just break legs; he liquidates assets. He’s cold, lethal, and terrifyingly precise. And he just bought her debt.

The terms are simple: Valia is bankrupt. She has no money, no allies, and no way out. So Garret makes her an offer she can't refuse.

Pack a bag. You’re working it off.

Trapped in his penthouse, Valia becomes the personal assistant to a monster. But as the long nights turn into dangerous intimacy, she realizes Garret isn't just guarding an investment. He’s hunting the people who killed his brother—and Valia’s family is at the center of the target.

She was supposed to be just another asset. But when a rival faction threatens to take her, the cold, unfeeling collector does the one thing he swore never to do.

He breaks the contract.

"Touch her and die" isn't just a warning. It's a promise.
