OWNED BY MAFIA DON NEROUpdated at Jan 8, 2026, 08:58
“You’re mine now,” Nero’s voice was low, rough velvet that sent chills down her spine. “No one touches what’s mine. No one even thinks about it.”
A flicker of heat curled through Amara’s body despite herself. “Don’t flatter yourself,” she shot back. “This marriage exists only because of our child.”
He gave a short, dangerous laugh. “Is that what you tell yourself to sleep at night?”
Two years earlier, Amara had spent a single reckless night with Nero De Santoro — the man whispered about as the most ruthless crime lord in Italy. That night left her with more than regret; it left her with a child. Determined to keep her baby safe from his violent world, she vanished without a trace, raising her daughter in the shadows.
But when her little girl fell dangerously ill, Amara’s desperate search for help forced her to face the one man she swore she’d never see again. Nero was stunned to learn he had a daughter — and cruelly clear about his terms. If Amara wanted his support, she would have to marry him.
What began as a cold-blooded arrangement soon twisted into something neither could control. Amara expected to despise him, but behind the walls of his power, she glimpsed pieces of a man she didn’t recognize — protective, haunted, almost tender. Every argument, every stolen glance, every night they shared blurred the line between hate and hunger.
Until Amara uncovered a devastating secret — a connection between Nero De Santoro, her husband, and the tragedy that had destroyed her family years ago.
