Thieves and Monsters

Ashley steals for money, and she has rules for the work: stay unseen, never get caught, and keep her heart out of it. A job to take a painting from mafia men breaks the second rule first. Damon, Minos and Aeacus catch her in the act.

The three men jointly lead the Three Fates Mafia, an organization nobody has ever escaped. They do not kill her. Instead they put a deal to her: seven days of sin, and at the end she walks free of the Three Fates.

The bargain does not stay a bargain. The four are already bound by fate, and what begins as a trade turns into love, which is far riskier for a thief than any punishment the mafia could hand down.

This is a why-choose romance, so the heroine ends up with all three men rather than picking one. It is a reverse-harem story that mixes mafia intrigue with mythology, and the names and the idea of fate give the crime world a mythic edge. The heat is part of the premise, since the deal is built around sin.

It is a standalone read and also the first book in the Three Fates Mafia series.
