Hidden By His Side (Wicked Defenders #3)
Amber Warden

Summer is drawn to Ramiro despite the danger. When he offers her a job as his secretary, she can't resist. Their attraction grows, but she’s still healing from the trauma of her past. She doubts someone like her could ever be enough for him.
When his enemies draw closer, Ramiro pushes her away, desperate to keep her safe. Instead, it leaves her vulnerable and alone. Soon broken and pregnant, Summer seeks out the only man who made her feel safe.
Ramiro will do whatever it takes to protect his family, even if he never imagined himself as a father. But his enemies know about her now. Ramiro needs to show them no one can touch the woman he loves and live.
Ramiro belongs to her, and he’s ready to prove it. She’s always been safest by his side, and that’s where she’ll stay, her and her baby.
Wicked Defenders is a series of mafia adjacent standalone romances, containing morally grey heroes that are sweet caregivers to those they love but don’t hold back on anyone else. These stories include dark themes and tragic scenes, but each book ends with an HEA.
