The Empire is lethal, ruthless, destructive and untouchable. They rule over all and annihilate any who stand in their way. But they have one weakness; family.

****************************************************************************************************

After the news came of her sister's murder, Odette Benson is forced to return to the town she ran as far and as fast as she could away from eight years ago. The killer is on the loose and targeting the high ranked members to draw their attention away from their hunt. And their main target is Odette -she is the key to The Empire's power...or their demise.

Ronan Payne is the lead Detective searching for answers to Petunia Benson's brutal death. He lives and breathes the righteousness and honour that comes with the badge he wears. But Odette makes him question everything he knows with a single look. And he hates this power she has over him.

Love blooms in adversity... but the killer is still out there, and his intentions are still unknown.

Time will tell who will fall next.

"Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame.

A stripper. An Italian mafia boss. And an unexpected pregnancy. Andrea Capaldi was a selfless woman who would do anything to help her family when they needed it. When her fathers restaurant started to fall apart after giving away almost all of his earnings to low life gangsters, Andrea knew she had to do something before their family restaurant could be foreclosed on. Desperate times call for desperate measures and she took a job at a strip club where she knew she could make fast and easy money. But what Andrea didn't expect to happen was to fall pregnant by a man she was giving a private dance to. The clubs number one rule was to never go home with the client because it would only lead to two things: obtaining and STD or getting pregnant. Matteo Salvatore was a man who people feared and respected. After taking over his fathers legacy he destroyed cities and built empires in his name so everyone knew that he was the godfather of power and status. He cared for no one and he wanted to keep it that way until that one unexpected night. Everything he believed in was thrown out the window and all he could think about was claiming her as his. And once he found out she was carrying his child the need grew stronger until he finally found the leverage he needed to forcefully make her his. It wasn't going to be easy but he always loved a challenge. ... Warning: When I first started this book I had no intention of having mature themes. I had no intention of putting in smut until the end. So don't expect this book to have intense mature scenes. But there is towards the end. You will also notice the use of these * that are for censored words. Like I said at the time I didn't mark my book off as mature yet so I didn't want to get flagged. It remained that way throughout the whole book just to keep it consistent. Just to emphasize ‼️LITTLE TO NO SMUT‼️
