I thought agreeing to carry a stranger’s child was the hardest decision I’d ever make. I was wrong. Armani Del Rossi is everything I don’t want—cold, controlling, and untouchably powerful. But when he offered me the chance to save my father’s life, I couldn’t say no. What started as a simple contract became so much more. Living under his roof, I discovered a man haunted by secrets, a man whose obsession with control extends even to me. But then the danger began. Gifts from an unknown sender, threats I couldn’t explain, and a betrayal that shattered the fragile trust between us. When his world collided with mine, I learned the truth about Armani—he’s a mafia lord, and his enemies will stop at nothing to destroy him. Now, my baby and I are caught in the crossfire. Armani swears he’ll protect me, but can I trust a man who’s built a life on violence and vengeance? Or is falling for him the biggest risk of all?

Aria Santos spent seven years devoted to Luca Vincenzo, the ruthless Alpha of the Crimsonveil Pack, only to be cast aside for another woman. When she lost their unborn child and nearly her life, she walked away, vowing never to look back. Three years later, she is no longer the broken woman he abandoned—she is powerful, untouchable, and the CEO of an empire that rivals his own. But when a high-stakes business deal forces them back together, the man who once rejected her finds himself drawn to the woman he let slip away. When betrayal, buried truths, and a bond that was never truly broken come to light, Aria must decide: Is Luca worth the risk of heartbreak again? Or will her vengeance burn everything in its path—including the only man she ever loved?
