She won't stop talking. He won't start. They have thirty days to figure out why that's a problem.
Thea Cela restores saints for a living — frescoes, not men. When she witnesses an assassination at a Tirana monastery, the last thing she needs is a grumpy Albanian intelligence operative who communicates in monosyllables and thinks her art history references are a security risk.
Dritan Kelmendi doesn't do sunshine. He does surveillance, threat assessment, and strategic distance. The tiny, fearless woman who just told him to go fuck himself — then asked about the Caravaggio lighting in his apartment — is a complication his operational protocol didn't account for.
The deal is simple: thirty days of protection. One question and one demand per day. No exceptions.
By Day 8, she's painting saints on his hallway wall. By Day 15, his questions have stopped being operational. By Day 22, the distance he's spent twenty-four years perfecting is exactly zero.
But the people who killed Brother Vasil are still watching. And Dritan knows from experience — the safest thing he can do for someone he loves is send them away.
The Quietest Fury is a full-length Albanian mafia romance with a grumpy operative who doesn't deserve her, a sunshine heroine who paints him into her world anyway, and enough heat to melt fresco plaster.
Tropes: Age Gap (13 years) Grumpy/Sunshine Forced Proximity Protector 30-Day Deal Dual POV Explicit Heat
Genre: Romantic Suspense
