His Pretty Little Burden: An Age Gap Mafia Romance (Kids of The District Book 4) Kindle Edition
#1 Bestseller in Women’s Crime Fiction.
#1 Bestseller in Organised Crime.
A little deer walks into the wolf’s den.
I want answers.
I know nothing of love, family, or stability, having been raised in the foster system and spat out at eighteen, pregnant, and with no memory of how that came to be.
I try to find my estranged father, a man rumoured to be in the Mafia, hopeful he will use his influence to discover what really happened the night someone took my innocence.
But I don’t find my father. I walk straight into the den of his associate, the Don of the Cosa Nostra.
Clay Butcher.
He is a cold, calculated killer. An emotional island in a perfectly tailored suit.
He orders me to stay in his mansion and wait for my father to return. But living with Clay Butcher stirs feelings deep inside of me. Starved of attention all my life, I find his possessive gaze intoxicating. His rules ground me, his discipline holds me accountable, and his praise sets my skin ablaze.
But he is a liar.
What I don’t know is that he plots to use me. I am not just the daughter of his colleague, but a girl with a powerful heir in her belly.
The heir to part of Clay Butcher's legacy.

Author notes: His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be enjoyed without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative and is the first book in a duet. It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes. Enjoy.

Review
"Ms. Harris's words, her beautiful prose, the power and emotion behind each letter typed... It called to my reader's heart in a way a book hasn't for a while. The story was dark, and it hurt so much. Yet, it was gorgeous in its pain, making me bleed for these characters, making me embrace all of the black and all of the light that was their tale."
"I really have no words, other than, this is so well written. I don't have triggers which is lucky!! I'm rushing off to read the next one!"
"5 heart-wrenching stars, fully deserved for this book."
"Nicci has blown me away with this book! I loved it from the get-go. I love a good age gap, mafia, protective, and good storyline. I love how this was not a typical story. "
"His Pretty Little Burden, the fourth book in the Kids of The District series by Nicci Harris is an age gap mafia romance that is pure perfection! Because honestly? Clay Butcher is everything you could ever want in a domineering, possessive, sexy alpha lead! Dark, charismatic, oh so possessive but oddly gentle in his obsession with his little deer that you can't stop reading their story."

Fawn & Clay are an unlikely match, but they certainly know how to light a fire and keep it hot. She’s looking to be chosen, to belong and ultimately loved. Family isn’t something she knows a lot about at 18, but she has an idea.
“For the past eighteen years, I have scratched at the surface of what a family looks like. I've ripped my nails from their beds trying to get to the core of it. Feel it. It's more than dinners and movies and conversations. More than sharing a space. It's effortless togetherness. Laughter on a hammock. Cradling your wife. Dancing. It's in the resting smile…” (Fawn)
Clay is head of the Cosa Nostra in Australia and married for business but not for romance nor physical intimacy. His wife Aurora is mafia royalty, but she wasn’t groomed to lead. Family is the reason Clay leads. His brothers and their families are why he builds the businesses and continues as the Mayor. When Fawn arrives, he sees revenge and a pretty little burden to play with as he pleases.
It’s intense but oh so good. The heat is scorching and you might find yourself needing more breaks than you thought. Great book & I’m ready for His Pretty Little Queen next.
I didn’t hate the book nor did I dislike it necessarily. I just didn’t feel like the love story was believable to me. I wasn’t convinced that what Clay and Fawn begin to share in this book was anything but predatory. There is a second part to their story and I can’t say I’m interested in following up.
There’s a lot of strong, explicit adult content including gRape I don’t remember seeing any content warnings (I’ll have to go back and look) but there should be.
I don’t know… this story just didn’t do what I thought it would. The idea was great the execution of it didn’t deliver for me.
