Dirty Look
by Jane Henry
2020
Assigned to guard the mafia boss’s spoiled daughter, Enzo takes a teaching job at her college and moves in next door. As her professor and bodyguard, he intends to keep her safe and in line, but one heated look turns protection into obsession.
Series background & context
Dark Desires is a co written series that leans into the overlap between mafia power plays and forbidden attraction. The stories are set in and around Boston, where organized crime bleeds into college campuses, classrooms, and ordinary apartments.
In the first book, a made man goes undercover as a professor to guard a mob princess who does not think she needs protecting, only to discover that disciplining her is the one job he cannot walk away from. The tone stays dark and erotic, with heroes who are as comfortable breaking bones as they are bending a bratty heroine over a desk.
Across the series you will find age gap dynamics, bodyguard tropes, and the kind of relentless tension that comes from trying to live a normal life while belonging to a violent underworld. Readers who enjoy morally gray protectors and heroines who push back hard will feel at home here.
