Daddy Next Door : A Dark Age Gap Mafia Romance
Christin Wales
His father became the scandal.
I thought the worst thing Cillian Thorne could do was break me quietly.
I was wrong.
Because when the man I trusted uses my name to bury a financial scandal inside his family empire, I’m left standing in the wreckage—publicly exposed, professionally cornered, and one step away from becoming the easiest person to blame.
Then Alaric Thorne steps in.
Cold. Controlled. Untouchable.
My ex’s father.
The man who built the empire Cillian is trying to steal.
He doesn’t offer comfort. He offers access.
A place in his house. A seat in his study. A role in a war that was already in motion long before I understood I’d been written into it.
I tell myself I’m staying to clear my name.
To uncover the truth.
To survive the family that almost made me collateral.
But survival gets complicated when the man protecting me is the same man teaching me how power really works.
Alaric doesn’t chase. He watches. He decides.
And once he decides to keep me close, every look feels like a calculated risk… and every touch feels like a line I was always going to cross.
Now I’m trapped between a son who tried to use me and a father who sees me too clearly.
Between scandal and desire.
Between the life I thought I was saving and the man who could ruin me in ways I might never want to escape.
Because the truth is, the affair isn’t the most dangerous part.
It’s what happens when being wanted turns into being chosen.
