"He Wanted a Marriage of Convenience. She Shattered All His Rules."

Arianna Costa never expected her life to be turned upside down during a routine medical check-up. Victim of a medical mistake that leaves her pregnant by a stranger, she soon discovers that the man in question is none other than Alessandro Valenti, the powerful and dangerous king of the Italian mafia.

For Alessandro, scandal is unthinkable. Marriage, security, and control: he demands Arianna become his wife to protect his reputation and their future heir. But sharing her life with this authoritarian and enigmatic man will come at a cost.

Thrust into a world of luxury, danger, and betrayal, Arianna begins to uncover an unexpected side to Alessandro. Beneath the mask of the mafia king lies a man torn between his need for control and his growing feelings for her.

Yet danger lurks in every shadow. Alessandro’s enemies are determined to see him fall, and now Arianna and their unborn child have become prime targets. Torn between scorching attraction, conspiracies, and buried secrets, Arianna must make a choice: surrender to this forbidden love or escape a world that could very well destroy her.

Under the Mafia King’s Control

The morning light seeps through the massive glass windows of the villa, casting golden reflections on the crumpled sheets. I turn my head slightly, my fingers sliding over the empty space beside me. Cold.

A sigh escapes my lips as I slowly sit up. My rounded belly tightens slightly with the movement, and I instinctively run my hand over the taut skin beneath my pajamas. Two more months before our baby arrives, yet every day, my instincts scream at me not to lower my guard.

I push back the covers and leave the bedroom, my bare feet brushing against the cold parquet floor.

The scent of coffee lingers in the air as I step into the living room.

Mila is sitting on the rug, a steaming cup of tea in her hands, while Leo runs around her, laughing. He holds a small toy car, rolling it enthusiastically across the floor.

I smile as I join them, placing a kiss on his dark head.
