Sold to the Mafioso for Christmas

Meet the Characters

*Nathalia Nogueira, 18* (Nathalia — last Christmas)

Dark wavy hair, greenish eyes, plus-size. Average height, 5'5". A little naive, but a fast learner.

A devoted mafia-romance reader, Nathalia learned the hard way that real life doesn't play by the rules of fiction. Fresh out of high school and desperate for a better life, she fell for an old internet scam — discovering that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Thinking she'd been recruited by a plus-size modeling agency, she walked straight into the hands of traffickers who sold her to a mafioso.

But this mafioso didn't want to keep her for himself. He wanted to give her away as a Christmas present...

...

*Nathalia Nogueira, 23* (Nathalia — next Christmas)

After escaping from Cappadocia, Nathalia became a famous author.

She lost weight, cut her hair, and became the mother of little Klaus.

Known for writing about strong heroines who break free from abusive relationships, she became an icon for women everywhere.

But one fine day, she discovered that her escape wasn't the end of her own love story — and her destiny was to remain a mafioso's Christmas present.

...

*Nicolau Polat, 37.* Turkish. Tall — 6'5". Blue eyes, dark hair with a slight curl. Usually bearded. Smokes when he's on edge. Short fuse — cross him and your chances of survival drop to zero.

A man who strikes fear into everyone around him — because he lost his humanity the day his beloved Yolanda died on Christmas.

Christmas became the day Nico turned even more bloodthirsty, and to calm his fury, his allies kept gifting him girls who resembled Yolanda every year.
