Taming My Mafia Master

This is the kind of guilty-pleasure serial that knows exactly what it is. On the surface this is a Romance / Mafia serial, but underneath it is a story about power and possession — and "Taming My Mafia Master" plays both layers for all they are worth.

Chloe catches seven years of commitment cheating on her and responds with one reckless night with Aiden — a mafia boss famous for never sleeping with the same woman twice. The contract says one year; Chloe, convinced she will catch feelings, secretly cuts it to three months. Watching two people negotiate the terms of their own falling-in-love while pretending it is just business is the whole engine here, and it runs hot.

Tropes on the menu: mafia, contract lover. Episodes are bite-sized, the cliffhangers are ruthless, and the payoff lands faster than most full-length shows manage in a season.
