This isn't a love story. It's a trap.

Have you ever heard the saying, "One night can change everything"? Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. In some situations, it's not true. But in this case. It is. Rue Garcia's life turned upside down in a matter of seconds. She always knew it would happen eventually. Being the daughter of a Mafia man and all. But what she didn't expect, was for Nadine Rossi, the Mafia prince, to be there with her. She didn't expect to fall for the boy who wasn't capable of love. The boy who merely thought it was an object. But now, with Nadine getting so close to Rue. He wants to learn. He wants to learn what love is, how it feels, what it makes you do. He wants a taste of real desire. Real passion. He wants Rue. --- My other hand trails down her arm, until I get to the waistband of her jeans. "Do you want me to touch you?" I whisper into her neck. She sucks in a breath. "Only for the game." I look down at her and smile. "Right. The game." My hands slowly go down her underwear. She looks down at the space between us. "Do you think I can make you cum in seven minutes?" At that, my hand goes to her clit and rubs soft circles. She lets out a breath. "Cause I think I can do it in one."

I was supposed to forget him. Just one night. One stupid, reckless, blazing hot night. I didn't even know his last name... But two months later, I'm pregnant with the heir to one of the most dangerous empires in the world. Damien Moretti is lethal, wealthy, and terrifyingly possessive. I built a life without him, poured everything into my boutique, held my head high, and decided I could do this on my own. Until he walked back into my life like a storm- demanding answers, demanding me. And he's not leaving without a fight. Now I'm stuck between a man who terrifies me and a future I never planned for... Because Damien doesn't just want the baby. He wants everything. My body. My heart. My soul. And once a Moretti claims something... He never lets Go His lips were fire-bruising, demanding, desperate as he pressed me back against the boutique's fitting room mirror. One hand gripped my hip like he owned it. The other slid down, low and reverent, stopping right where our child was growing inside me. "Mine," he growled against my skin, his voice ragged and possessive. "This baby... you... all of it. Mine." I should've pushed him away. But instead, I arched into him as his mouth traveled lower, whispering filthy promises over the swell of my barely-there bump before planting a hot kiss there. "You shouldn't be here," I whispered. He looked up at me with eyes that burned emerald. "Sweetheart... I'm never leaving."
