I picked the pocket of New Yorks most dangerous man.
I never planned to see him again
Until he claimed me as his wife.
Now Im carrying his child – and his secrets.
Rule number one: Never steal from a mobster.
Rule number two: If you break rule one, dont agree to be his fake wife.
And the golden rule? Dont fall for the ruthless, irresistible mafia king who now calls you his.
Because when you break all these rules, youre left with a shattered heart, a secret child, and years of hiding from the man who thinks youre buried six feet under.
Self-preservation was never my strong suit.
Marco Barrone wasnt just another mark.
He was a predator in Armani, with eyes like winter steel and a smile that promised ruin.
Dangerous. Magnetic. Lethal.
I thought I was smart, lifting his wallet in a sea of New York faces.
Ive never been more wrong.
When his hand clamped on my wrist, I expected a bullet.
Instead, I got a ring, a fake marriage, and a night that left me with more than just memories.
Now Im hiding a secret bigger than both of us – a little girl with his eyes and my smile.
A daughter he doesnt know exists.
Six years later, just when I thought fate was done toying with me
Two pink lines tell me Im about to double down on my mistakes.
Marco is about to be a father again.
This time… to twins!
