[previously My Baby Daddy... The Don.] Enzo D'Angelo wasn't a good man but he wasn't evil. He was the head of the D'Angelo crime family and a cold professional shell of a man. No time for love and no time for weakness. But he needed a wife and a heir. Putting into motion the event where he hoped to find his potential wife, not caring if she loved him because he knew it'd be mutual that way and the marriage would be just like any other business deal. Sure he'd treat her well and she'd have everything she could ever want as long as it wasn't love. Then came along Luciana Rosetti who not only had captured his interest and soon his blackened heart but brought some baggage that lead to events that Enzo never ever in his life would have gone through for anyone else. But will this love last, will they over come her past and his own? Will their child be brought into a loving home or a broken one? Can a shotgun wedding and engagement equal love?

I know you have secrets, secrets you don't want anyone to know, besides Zach. I just kept thinking...maybe if you trusted me, you would have told me. I just wish you trusted me to know those secrets." He turned his head to the right, away from me, and looked at the waves. You're worthless! This is why she left...because of you! My father's words tried reaching me again, but I pushed them out, only hearing my thoughts and Zach's. Baby steps. Trust him, Mae. Trust yourself. "I do trust you," I whispered. He turned his head so fast and looked at me with his mouth open and his eyes wide. That was the first time I spoke to anyone that wasn't my brother or my father in over ten years. And it felt so right.

This is the sequel to Puppet Master, they might actually work as stand alone books though. GRAPHIC AND EXPLICIT!!!

And moving on sounds like a fabulous idea ... until your body rejects every touch because of the traumatic brutality that it has faced. Every touch except the one man you're trying to move on from, and you're literally betrayed by your own flesh, to a man that won't give up until he gets back everything he's ever loved and lost in a total and complete submission - mind, body and soul.
