Summary
When Elizabeth Colvin pursues her dreams of becoming an investigative reporter in New York, she never expects to become instantly enamored with the tall, dark, and handsome guest at Restaurant Vesuvio she waits on one evening. As time goes on, she learns she and that man—her temporary boss, Vittorio Puzo—have far more in common than she could have ever thought. Drawn into the underworld of the Italian Mafia, she partners with him to track down their leads together. Within her disguise, her hardest battle is not to protect her body or her mind, but her heart.
Note: For those looking for a more romantic, less graphic reworking of Gotham Memoirs, this story is for you!

Summary
Once she starts, Elizabeth just can't seem to stop– though, truth be told, there's not a single part of her that actually wants to anyway. She runs into Vittorio Puzo six times, and kisses him on four separate occasions before she finally tries to call and see him on purpose instead of by sheer, strange luck.

Summary
In 1933, Elizabeth Colvin never could have imagined that moving to the big city of New York from her family farm to pursue a career in journalism would land her in the middle of two rival mafia families, but when one boss ends up trafficking children, she can't just do nothing, especially when she learns that she'd nearly been one of them.
(Note: This isn’t a smut story, nor is it one where sex is withheld until the end. Vittorio would be a supreme asshole if he and Elizabeth were to hook up at the end after everything that will happen. If you want something with tons of sex, or something where sex is withheld until the end, then this isn’t the story for you. Sex is where it is for very deliberate, specific, planned-out reasons.)
(Warning: This story does contain sensitive material including dubious consent, mafia violence, and themes of abuse, though the game itself goes farther than I could make myself write. However, it is not gratuitous, and anything involving children is never described or shown, and it is not there just for shock value. It's deeply relevant to the story. Everything I write into a story is very deliberate and serves a purpose to the overall narrative. If it doesn't, I nix it.)
