Go Ahead. Run.
He kidnapped me for my brother's debt.
One night to prove I'm worth keeping.
I should run.
I should hate him.
But Callan Russo doesn't chase women, he owns them.
And I just became his favorite game.
He gave me until sunrise to escape.
I ran.
He's faster.
Dark mafia erotica. Explicit content. Kidnapping. Obsession. No safe words.
You’re Not Fast Enough
I ran from Callan Russo.
New city. New name. New bar where nobody asks questions. I was finally breathing again.
Then he walked through the door.
He didn't drag me back. Didn't make a scene. Just sat at the end of my bar, ordered a whiskey, and looked at me like I'd never stopped being his.
He gave me an address. Told me where to find him.
Said he wasn't asking for anything.
We both knew that was a lie.
You ran. I came after you. Now choose — but we both know you already did.
Stay.
Coming Next in the Russo Control Series:
STAY
She chose him. Chicago welcomed her back with a bullet.
Callan Russo — the most dangerous man in the city — is fighting for his life. And his mind.
Elena ran halfway across the world once to escape him. Now she'll run even further to save him.
But the threat closing in on everything they built isn't from Chicago. It's coming from Detroit. And it was already waiting for them in Geneva.
Some men make you choose. Callan Russo makes you stay.
Mara Monroe
Mara Monroe writes short, dark, and dangerously addictive erotic romance where obsession is foreplay and surrender is inevitable.
She specializes in possessive mafia kings, defiant heroines, and the kind of intense power play that blurs the line between captivity and craving. Her stories are raw, and unapologetically filthy.
When she’s not crafting the next sinful release, Mara can be found drinking strong coffee, avoiding reality, and dreaming up new ways to make her readers blush… and beg for more.
