The Don's Debt
A Ransom Demand, Unreliable Narrator Contemporary RomanceBy Emmy Sutton
Length7h 12m
About this audiobook
Twenty thousand missing from the construction accounts, and three weeks between the last clean entry and the night a made man took a bullet. That is the window, and there is one person in the organisation whose handwriting is on every page of it.
Dante sets the ledger on the scarred mahogany of the back office desk. The thud of leather against wood is louder than it should be in a quiet room. The bar hums through the walls, clinking glasses and a record on the turntable and the low murmur of men doing business they will never speak about.
None of it matters. Only the woman across from him, spine straight as a blade, green eyes fixed on the leather-bound book as though it holds her death warrant.
*Twenty thousand. From the construction accounts. Disappeared three weeks before Sal took a bullet.*
Vittoria Bianchi does not flinch. Her fingers, calloused from years of pencil work, rest flat on the table. No tremor. No tell.
He has watched those hands for six months. Watched them balance columns with the precision of a surgeon, watched them wrap around an espresso cup at seven every morning. They have never once shaken, and they are not shaking now.
What follows: a ledger of lies, the price of a name, a snake's smile, a car that comes far too fast, the taste of rust, a loyalty test with no correct answer, and a playground full of people who bite.
*To fight. To make sure you don't have to choose alone.*
The cost is legible from a long way out. She loses the invisibility that has kept her alive in that back office for six years, the one thing her mother bought for her at considerable expense. He loses the last of the distance that lets a man in his position give an order and then sleep, and he loses it in front of everybody who has been waiting for exactly that.
