Gianluca One night was usually all I had to offer. Between baseball and my family, there just wasn’t enough time. There was this one girl I considered dating, but then she disappeared without a trace.
Now I’m getting a call from my cousin telling me to get to the hospital…NOW. Turns out, I have a kid. My life is suddenly full of snacks, toys and a tiredness that goes bone deep.
I’m convinced it’s the universe’s way of punishing me. Until I meet her. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. And bonus, my son loves her too!
I know she has a lot going on, but I need to find a way to show her that her place is here with me. With US.
Gabriela Lake Renegade is nothing like what I pictured in my head.
When my parents told me I’d be moving to the states to stay with another mafia family, I imagined big city suits forcing me to stay inside and be seen not heard.
Instead, I get this big, open family who go out of their way to show each other how much they love each other.
While learning to bake from the matriarchs of the family, I begin to fall in love with the little boy they are looking after. We bond over our shared love of sweets.
Then I meet his father, and my world stops spinning. He’s patient, kind and attentive. The more time I spend with them, the less I desire to go home.
But my family needs me and I can’t abandon them in this crazy time. Will he wait for me?
