She had my baby and now she’s mine.
Women know I’m a bad boy. They know that they should keep their distance, but they never do. All they ever get is one night. The dirtiest, wildest, hottest night of their lives.
Court appointed shrink Dr. Julia Connors shouldn’t have been any different. She shouldn’t have changed me. But she did.
She asked me to tell her how I felt. All I wanted to do was lay her down on that couch and make her scream my name.
She was the only one I ever wanted a second night with. She was the only one I couldn’t take it from. And when old rivalries flared, I had to leave to keep her safe…I had to break her heart.
When my enemies find her, nothing’s going to stop me from coming back to protect her and the son I never knew I had.
I made a mistake by letting her go once, but I never make the same mistake twice.
This is a standalone, full-length mafia romance with a filthy-mouthed, possessive bad boy. Happily ever after guaranteed.

About the author
Penelope Bloom
69 books2,622 followersUSA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Penelope Bloom is taking her first flight into romantasy—and yes, there are dragons. After years of contemporary romance, she's temporarily trading meet-cutes for magical academies and coffee shops for castles that reek of blood. She promises the banter is just as sharp, but now it comes with deadly consequences.
Fun fact: “Penelope Bloom” started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the family dog, Penelope—never meant to be anything serious. But then the books took off, and the name stuck. Behind the scenes, Penelope Bloom is actually a husband-and-wife team. He handles the writing; she edits, helps with brainstorming, and runs the reader-facing side of things (like social media and messages). So if you’ve chatted with “Penelope” online, you’ve likely been talking to her—with the author chiming in whenever needed. Together, they’ve built the voice readers know and love.

Julia is Leo’s therapist, and during this session, he manipulates her into engaging in a sexual relationship with him. He must break her heart and leave to protect his brother and keep her safe from danger, as he is involved in criminal activities.
After many years, he comes back and reunites with his son, realizing they are his and he refuses to let them go. His adversaries are aware of their existence, and he must ensure their safety. He allowed her to leave once, but he won’t do it again.
I thoroughly enjoyed this narrative. The story was captivating from beginning to end, and I couldn’t stop reading it. He never expected to start a family, but now that he has one, he will do everything in his power to protect them from any harm or separation.
This is an excellent story that I highly recommend reading.
