Borrowed Bride

I picked the pocket of New York's most dangerous man. I never planned to see him again... Until he claimed me as his wife. Now I'm carrying his child – and his secrets. Rule number Never steal from a mobster. Rule number If you break rule one, don't agree to be his fake wife. And the golden rule? Don't fall for the ruthless, irresistible mafia king who now calls you his. Because when you break all these rules, you're left with a shattered heart, a secret child, and years of hiding from the man who thinks you're buried six feet under. Self-preservation was never my strong suit. Marco Barrone wasn't just another mark. He was a predator in Armani, with eyes like winter steel and a smile that promised ruin. Dangerous. Magnetic. Lethal. I thought I was smart, lifting his wallet in a sea of New York faces. I've never been more wrong. When his hand clamped on my wrist, I expected a bullet. Instead, I got a ring, a fake marriage, and a night that left me with more than just memories. Now I'm hiding a secret bigger than both of us – a little girl with his eyes and my smile. A daughter he doesn't know exists. Six years later, just when I thought fate was done toying with me... Two pink lines tell me I'm about to double down on my mistakes. Marco is about to be a father again. This time… to twins!
