Stolen by the Mafia King by Evie Rose is a fast-paced, steamy novella that explores obsession, dominance, and power through a dark mafia romance lens.

The story centers on Jessa, a young woman whose life is upended when her brother arranges her marriage to settle a debt. But before the wedding can take place, she’s taken by Grant Lambeth—a ruthless mafia kingpin who’s been silently watching her for years, waiting for the moment he can claim what he believes is his. On the night before the ceremony, he kidnaps her and presents a chilling ultimatum: stay with him for one month, or run—and if he catches her, she owes him 24 hours of complete surrender.

The romance between Jessa and Grant is a heated blend of tension, control, and desire. Grant’s obsession is fierce—he’s commanding, protective, and unwilling to let her go. His role as a mafia kingpin only heightens the danger and appeal, as he surrounds Jessa with both luxury and dominance. Jessa, caught between resistance and curiosity, gradually finds herself drawn to the man who once terrified her. The chemistry between them is immediate and explosive, driven by Grant’s primal need to possess and Jessa’s slow unraveling under his gaze.

Their connection develops quickly but with emotional layers that peek through Grant’s hard exterior. There’s a possessive kind of care in how he protects her, and Jessa begins to question if her growing feelings stem from fear, desire, or something deeper. The power dynamic remains central, but there are glimpses of tenderness that hint at a deeper bond.

For readers who enjoy dark, high-heat novellas with dominant mafia kingpins, obsessive love, and unconventional beginnings, Stolen by the Mafia King delivers a short but intense ride into dangerous romance fantasy.
