And now he has a new job: to be my mate and a dad to our little boy... moreThe family is forcing me to marry the one mobster I don’t want. Nobody (including him) knows that he’s my baby’s daddy.

I grew up in this family, and I know who I’m dealing with. I know that blood and murder are part of his job. And now he has a new job: to be my mate and a dad to our little boy.

But I can’t let myself believe that it is me that he wants to love and protect. Because believing that would break me again….

Blood, torture, and darkness rule the lives of its members. But light comes in the form of the primal needs and desires that bear shifters cannot escape…to find a mate, to protect them and keep them safe at all costs. WARNING: Intended for 18+ readers. less
