Every rejected daughter dreams of revenge. Mine came with a baby and a mob boss.
He was my brother’s best friend. The man I was never supposed to touch. Now he’s the father of my child—and the most dangerous man in New York.
One family dinner. One brutal rejection. One reckless night in the arms of Damiano Moretti—the billionaire mob boss who’s been sending me flowers and love letters for years. The only man who’s ever seen my worth.
I thought it was just one night of comfort. I was wrong.
Because Damiano doesn’t do “one night.” He does possession. Protection. Permanence.
And when he finds out I’m pregnant—before I can even tell him myself—he makes it clear that I belong to him. Ring, name, and all.
Now I’m caught between two 💣 A family that threw me away. 💋 A man who’d burn down the city to keep me.
They say you can’t choose your family. But when the mafia chooses you, running isn’t an option—especially when you’re carrying their heir.
A scorching BWWM secret baby mafia romance with forbidden love, brother’s best friend, touch-her-and die energy, and a hero who'll burn down the world before letting her go.
I truelly loved this story, the main characters were strong and compatible. Loved their chemistry and loved the family story too. No complaints about this, this was an awesome read.
It sucks to be the imperfect child that is compared to the other child their whole life. Her family can kick rocks. His family was amazing! I was with the fmc until about 50% of the story where she forgot what she agreed to by being in a relationship with a dangerous man. They had a conversation about it but she plumb forgot the terms of engagement and lost her mind and put herself in danger over some b$ involving her detached family. There's action and sexy times that don't disappoint. There's a later scene with a second confrontation with the brother that seemed to say in more detail what was said at the previous meeting. We don't have any proof there is real remorse from her family but it doesn't impact her decision in the end. Quick read.
I really loved this book. It was absolutely amazing my only thing I wished she would have got therapy. She asked for honesty and to never run away when times get tough yet she ran away each time she got scared and when her brother manipulated her. She's a therapist for crying out loud seek help you know you're stuck in your childhood and absentee parents issues 😅😅 The book was amazing. The family we're born into sometimes are the ones who hate us the most we don't get to choose them. We can however choose the family we will marry into and call our own
This was my first read by the author. I enjoyed the pacing of the story, the way the scenes were constructed and the vulnerability written in. The main characters were beautiful, vulnerable and it was refreshing to see. I enjoyed the mafia perspective. I will definitely check out more of her catalog.
Ok Makayla had so much drama about her family. The woman in Damianco family are loving and strong. I loved that everyone enjoyed food, drink and Family 🥰🥰 HEA
This was such a moving story. Very well written. I probably will read it again. Makayla was vulnerable yet strong, and Damiano was strong yet vulnerable. They were perfect for each other.
As a rule, I don’t normally care for Mafia stories, but this book had so much action and depth that I found myself thoroughly enjoying the characters and the entire story.
He was awesome. Just the man I would love to meet . Her family was absent and so unfeeling. The book was written so beautifully that I couldn’t put it down. Great read.
Lexi Johnson send new to me author and I really enjoyed this book! I’m on a mafia/dark/bully, reading kick, and I thought this was going to fit the bill. Well, it kind of fit the bill. This was more of a suggested, bully romance. The title made it sound like this was going to be in a possessive obsessive story, it had a bit of that, but it was more spoken than shown if that makes any sense. Our H cautious about what he would demand from our h. She held a lot of power in a situation that she should’ve had pretty much none in? So, that right there was a bit out of the norm for most mafia reads. She’s gonna do what I say, too, when I say, do it, and love every second of it! I did feel for our h, Michaela really had a rough spin of the dice when it came to family. Her family was the worst! They made her feel like she was worthless, unloved, and unwanted. They did everything in their power to make her feel small. Growing up, all she had was Domingo, the mafia boss, who was the best friend of her brother. Not sure how that relationship came about, it didn’t even seem like they liked each other let alone we’re besties so not seeing that connection at all unfortunately This was a virtual voice read, so of course there wasn’t a whole bunch of emotion in an inflection, but still, I got the gist of the idea when I was listening to it. I think I liked it a bit more when I was actually physically reading it because I can add my own voice in my head that I felt a little bit better with the characters and made them seem a little bit more rough around the edges, dark, and gritty. All in all, this was a fun break from the norm. Not what I was looking for per se… But still a decent read. I kept reading and was glad I did as a story turned out to leave MINI warm and fuzzies in the end!
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was awesome! I am glad that the main female character (Makayla) was able to stand up to her brother and parents. Her family were shameful in the way that they treated her! She had accomplished a lot and instead of being proud, they berated her! Anyway, I am glad that she is now happy with Damiano and his family. This was a great read!
