#THIS IS A SAMPLE 4 CHAPTERS ONLY!!!

An unfortunate circumstance brought them together, but a long-harbored secret kept them apart for three years.

Damian never wanted to stay away for so long, but the situation kept him away. However, he is back now, so is his guilt. And the biggest of them has already caught up to him. How long will he be able to keep his secrets hidden without ruining the only good thing that happened to him in his mess of a life?

When Mia finds out that her missing husband of three years is back in town, she forces herself to meet him. The quick in-and-out meeting, asking for a divorce, was what she expected. But, instead, one meeting turned into two, two into three, and she was falling for her husband again. However, she also got a feeling he was hiding something from her.

While Damian is still the same handsome, charming guy who stole her heart all those years ago, their reunion is overshadowed by the hidden secrets, insecurities, and unknown threat.

As much as Mia wants to keep her distance from him, she can't stop her growing feelings for him. Damian also can't help but fall in love with the beautiful woman he left behind. But threat loomed over their budding romance when the dark truth was revealed.

Will the secret which caused Damian to move away break them or bring them closer? Will they still be able to make it work after finding what happened?

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) di StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
