The Unexpected Heirs of the Mafia King
By Angel Cole
She baked for kings.
She never meant to fall for one.
Lia Fiorelli grew up in a family of humble Italian bakers who believed hard work could cure heartbreak. Now she runs her own catering company, building a quiet empire far from the blood-soaked world of the mafia. But fate-and one impossible man-has other plans.
When Lia is hired to cater her best friend's week-long engagement celebration at the lavish Mancini estate, she expects drama, wealth, and egos. She doesn't expect Lorenzo Vitale, the reclusive Mafia King whose name alone makes men fall silent. He's powerful, lethal, and utterly magnetic. And when their eyes meet across the ballroom, the air itself changes.
A dangerous dance leads to a stolen night. What begins as chemistry turns to obsession-then consequences. By morning, he's gone, leaving nothing behind but his business card and the memory of his hands. Lia swears it was a mistake. She's there to work, not become another one of his stories.
But destiny doesn't care about good intentions.
As more guests arrive for the upcoming wedding, the mansion becomes a fortress of secrets. Women whisper, men disappear for "business," and every smile hides an allegiance. The gorgeous, venom-tongued Brenda Mosconi-Lorenzo's old flame and Chiara's jealous acquaintance-makes Lia's life miserable, flaunting her history with the Vitale family and reminding everyone where power truly sits.
Still, Lia refuses to shrink. She works, commands, and rebuilds control-until she feels his gaze again. Lorenzo hasn't forgotten her. And when danger circles the mansion, he makes it clear: she's under his protection, whether she wants it or not.
Their stolen nights turn into a forbidden affair that threatens every rule in his empire.
But when the final night ends in chaos-and Lia disappears with more than memories-the Mafia King will learn that his most dangerous secret hasn't been buried at all.
