Bailey is 14 and has endured a life of severe abuse, neglect, and trauma. He remembers bits and pieces. A house with soft blankets. A lady who smiled a lot. A boy who let him play with him. He remembers the way his dad used to hold him, like he mattered. But that was a long time ago. People leave. That's what they do. Bailey has always felt disconnected from the world, being Autistic and needing stability is something he once had and needs again. Caspian Elwood, a successful actor with a thriving career and a loving family, thought he had his life figured out. Married to his wife Lauren for twelve years, they've built a beautiful home with their two children, Finn, 14, and Eden, 8. But when a late-night call from a social worker shakes the foundation of his world, Caspian is faced with a devastating truth: his son Bailey, the one he's been supporting from a distance, has been neglected, possibly for years. Because maybe this time, someone came back. Will this make or break the family, or will this be the piece they were missing?

Dominic doesn't have time for distractions-especially not sweet, sunshine-eyed distractions with flour on their noses. But when Tessa finds herself tangled in the underworld he's spent a lifetime controlling, protecting her becomes more than a duty. It becomes personal. And suddenly, the most dangerous man in the city starts falling for the only woman who isn't afraid of him. ●・○・●・○・● Word count: 23,178 Top Rankings: 10.14.25 - #6 in Mafia
