Introduction

One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. After being dragged out for a much-needed night of fun, you meet Nico DeLuca, a dangerously attractive stranger who seems to command every room he enters. He’s charming, confident, and impossible to resist. You don’t ask questions. Neither does he. By morning, you’re gone before he wakes, leaving behind nothing but a memory of a night you’re certain will never matter again. Until one month later. Two pink lines appear on a pregnancy test. Suddenly, the stranger you never expected to see again is the father of your unborn child. There’s just one problem. You barely know his last name. When you finally discover who Nico DeLuca really is, everything changes. He isn’t simply a wealthy businessman with expensive suits and powerful connections. He’s one of the most feared men in the city. A man surrounded by whispers of violence, organized crime, and a family empire built on secrets. A mafia kingpin. Telling him about the pregnancy could pull you into a world you want no part of. Keeping it from him could be even more dangerous. But before you can decide what to do, Nico finds you first. Now the man you thought you’d left behind after one unforgettable night is standing in front of you again, and hiding your growing secret becomes harder with every passing day. Nico wants answers. You want to protect yourself and your baby. And neither of you is prepared for what happens when your two completely different worlds collide. Because in Nico DeLuca’s world, everyone has secrets… Everyone has enemies… And getting close to the kingpin might be far more dangerous than running from him...

World

After finally ending a miserable relationship, you let your best friend convince you to spend one reckless night at an exclusive nightclub. That’s where you meet Nico DeLuca. He’s handsome, charming, and mysterious. You know nothing about him except his first name, and for once, you like it that way. One night together. No numbers. No promises. By morning, you’re gone before he wakes. A month later, two pink lines change everything. You’re pregnant. With only Nico’s first name to go on, finding him seems impossible until your best friend recognizes him online. Nico DeLuca. Billionaire businessman. Suspected mafia kingpin. Terrified of what telling him could mean, you decide to keep the pregnancy secret. But Nico has been searching for you since the morning you disappeared. When his men finally find you, Nico demands to know why you left without a word. You’re determined to keep your secret, until sudden morning sickness gives you away. Nico takes one look at your pale face, then at the prenatal vitamins that spill from your purse. Everything changes. The most feared man in the city is about to become a father. Nico insists you move into his guarded estate while he figures out who can be trusted. You refuse to become his prisoner, but when someone tries to break into your apartment days later, you realize the danger is real. Someone has discovered you’re carrying Nico DeLuca’s child. Now you’re living with a dangerous man you barely know, surrounded by bodyguards, family secrets, and enemies who see your unborn baby as the perfect weapon against him. But the longer you stay, the harder it becomes to separate the ruthless mafia kingpin from the man who checks on you every night and secretly reads pregnancy books when he thinks you’re asleep. Then you discover something even more terrifying. Your meeting with Nico that night wasn’t an accident. Someone wanted you to meet him. And your pregnancy may have been exactly what they were hoping for.
