I thought he abandoned me.
I survived anyway.
I built a life without Massimo Manetti. Married the wrong man. Raised my son in silence. And buried the truth so deep even I almost believed it didn’t matter.
Then my world was torn apart.
My son and husband were taken.
And the only man powerful enough to get them back is the one who never knew he was a father.
Massimo rules Las Vegas with blood and control. He’s ruthless. Possessive. Dangerous. And he’s demanding answers I’m not sure I’m ready to give.
Because saving my child means trusting the man I never stopped loving.
I won’t beg.
I won’t break.
And I won’t lose my son.
As enemies close in and old betrayals surface, I have to decide if giving Massimo the truth will save us… or destroy everything.
Merciless Sinner is a dark mafia romance featuring second-chance love, a secret baby, forced proximity, a powerful antihero, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.
