About this listen
Dr. Maya Richardson lives by one rule—do no harm. But that rule shatters the moment a bloodied stranger crashes into her clinic in the middle of the night, demanding her hands, her silence, her trust. She doesn’t know his name, only that he radiates danger, power... and something darkly magnetic she can’t resist.
Marcus Calabrese shouldn’t have gone to her. He’s the man men fear, the one who settles debts in blood and never owes anyone anything. But the moment her soft hands touch his ruined body, he’s marked. Claimed. The angel in scrubs is his now—and he’ll destroy anything that threatens her.
She’s his weakness in a world where weakness gets you killed. He’s her downfall in a life built on saving others. Together, they’re a reckless flame burning too hot to last… but neither of them is willing to let go.
Her world is clean. His is not. But now he’s in her bed. And she doesn’t want to let him go.
WORTH THE DARKNESS is a sinful, slow-burn Mafia romance where loyalty is lethal, desire is dangerous, and the only thing more forbidden than their love... is how much they crave it.

Story
As an elite matchmaker with a type-A personality, my life is a series of perfectly executed plans, just like the fairy-tale love stories I craft for my clients. By day, it’s all about precision and success for them. But by night? I curl up in bed reading smutty, dark billionaire romance novels. It’s my little secret. Then the unexpected happened—I met Will Huntley. I was expecting the usual matchmaking request over coffee, but Will, the charming billionaire playboy, had a different plan. Specifically, he wanted me to pretend to be his wife for a week.

Hiking, cold weather, and cabins in the woods are not my thing. But when my two best friends beg me to join them for a trip to the mountains, I cave. "It'll be fun," they said. "You need to get out more," they said. Everything was fine until I realized it's all a setup. A weekend-long blind date orchestrated with the help of their boyfriends. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. But then he shows up, looking like a lot more than a tall glass of milk.

My finances don't let me get that far. And Josh needs this fake marriage to get custody of his late friend's son.

Parker was the last thing I expected when I packed my bags and moved to small-town Texas after learning my then-ex cheated two months before our wedding. All I knew is that I wanted to be far away. With my savings and a broken heart, I purchased a fixer-upper and took the next plane to a place where only one person knew my name. It was supposed to be my perfect opportunity to start over and scrub the male species from my mind. And it would have worked had Parker not smiled at me from the other end of the bar with eyes so blue they'd make a nun swoon.

ONE Night! TWO People! THREE Rules! “Rule number one: no names,” he said. I kept looking at him as he spoke and tried not to get lost in the sensations that his voice stirred inside me. My silence was my answer…my acknowledgment. “Rule number two: masks stay on.” I nodded this time. Though there was hardly room to do that. I was still in his arms, my body stuck to his and his bulge pressing into my hips. It was hard to remain focused but I did…barely. They were decent rules, logical perhaps. It was better to not know each other. “Rule number three?” I asked before a soft ...
