The Don’s Secret Heir

An Enemies to Lovers Forced Proximity Mafia Romance

I thought I buried my past the day I ran from Matteo DeLuca. Then I found him in handcuffs, smirking like he still owns my body, my heartbeat… and the secret he has no idea exists.

I swear I’m over Matteo, but the second our eyes lock across that interrogation table, every lie I’ve rehearsed collapses.
He’s danger in a tailored suit—power, violence, temptation.
The last man I should want. The only man my heart still aches for.
And the one person who can never know the truth about my son.
Then everything spirals—
A gunshot in the night, an intruder in my home, a threat aimed at the child I’d die to protect—
And suddenly, Matteo is everywhere. My shadow. My shield. My undoing.
Being pulled back into his world turns sparks into wildfire.
One reckless kiss cracks my entire life open.
And the man I swore off becomes impossible to resist.
But loving him is a danger in its purest form.
A rival family wants revenge.
My hidden child is their leverage.
If Matteo discovers the truth at the wrong moment…
I won’t just lose my career.
I’ll lose the only family I have
