Witness Protection, My Foot

Age Gap Mafia Romance

By: Ella Hartwell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After thirty years in the business, Luca Morelli thought he’d seen it all—until the FBI dumped him in the middle of suburban New Jersey with a fake name, a manicured lawn, and a neighbor who won’t stop talking.

Harper Quinn is thirty-two, a true-crime podcaster with a fondness for conspiracy theories and peppermint tea. When a brooding, broad-shouldered “retired plumber” moves in next door, she’s sure he’s hiding something. Serial killer? Spy? Secret alien overlord?

She’s determined to find out. He’s determined to keep his head down. But Luca didn’t survive three decades in the mob by ignoring trouble—and Harper, with her relentless curiosity and sunshine grin, is trouble in yoga pants.

Between nosy HOA meetings, her accidentally recording him for her podcast, and one power outage that leaves them alone with too much candlelight, Luca starts to think suburbia might be the most dangerous place he’s ever been.

She wanted the story. He wanted to stay hidden. But all she got was a neighbor who makes her forget how to ask the right questions.
