Reader Question – The book about the mafia leader’s son that protects her and keeps her away from his life…

Johanna needs our book help! Sounds angsty and like there’ll be lots of pining. My kind of book!

She asks:

Hi Maryse, I’m looking for a book. I read the first one a few years ago. It popped up in my head again a few weeks ago now I can’t remember the name.

It’s goes something like this… he’s young, had a father who works for a mafia/leader. I think in Cuba.

She falls for him and him for her. They can’t be together.

She dates a boy who he ends up beating up. He then sends her away to protect her.

I don’t know of this rings any bells.

Thanks

Oooooh I love the sound of it! Anyone have a guess?

Johanna: I think this might be it. 😆

Maryse: *fingers crossed*!! Let us know when you know for sure. 😀

Nikki: Could it be “Plausibility” by Jettie Woodruff? It’s been a long time since I read it, but it has some of those same elements…
