Antonio by Claire Kirby

I didn’t plan to fall for him. I only planned to sleep with him.

That was my first mistake.

My second was becoming pregnant with his child.

I arrived late to a black-tie gala at a casino owned by the Contis and ended the night in a private suite with a man I should have feared.

His name was Antonio.

Older. Precise.

The kind of man who doesn’t raise his voice because he never has to.

We exchanged first names.

Nothing more.

He thought I was just another guest.

I thought he was just another powerful executive.

We were both wrong.

Because I’m Elsa Nilsson—head of due diligence for Northstar Hospitality.

And Antonio Conti is the man trying to acquire the company I work for.

He knew the gatekeeper was named Nilsson.

He just never imagined I’d be twenty-five…

or that he’d already had me beneath him in his bed.

Now a rival syndicate has decided I’m the leverage in a billion-dollar war.

Antonio insists on keeping me close.

In his casino.

In his orbit.

Under his protection.

Under his control.

He says it’s strategy.

But the way he watches me feels more like possession.

And just when the acquisition reaches its final stage—

I discover I’m carrying a Conti heir.

ANTONIO is a dark, addictive mafia romance filled with power, obsession, and explosive chemistry—perfect for readers who crave controlling alpha heroes and high-stakes passion and intrigue.

While characters may reappear, every Conti Family book is a standalone romance that can be read independently.
