Excerpt & #Giveaway: He Should Be Mine (My Mobster #1) by Jessica Jackman
Molly is beautiful. Feisty. Sensual. Passionate.
A pretty boy who knows his trade.
He is also the very epitome of high-maintenance. Rude. Stroppy. Always aiming to unnerve people with his brazen words and attitude.

But he belongs to my boss. And when your boss is a mafia capo, that’s a line you do not cross.
