Daddy’s Little Secret by Lydia Hall

I was born into power I never wanted

and a father who never loved me.

To him, I’m a mistake.

A burden.

A pawn to control.

Then he returned—

Anton Romanov.

Twenty-four years older.

Harder.

Colder.

A Pakhan carved from war and fire.

I should have looked away.

But the moment his eyes found mine again,

something inside me broke open.

Something reckless.

Something hungry.

One forbidden night in a dark underground club

ruined every rule I ever lived by.

His touch was command.

His mouth was chaos.

And I let the man my father hates

become the sin I crave most.

Now danger circles us both.

My father wants me locked away—or buried.

His enemies want me silenced forever.

And Anton…

Anton keeps choosing me,

even when it could cost him his crown.

But the deepest secret I carry—

the one that could burn our world to ash—

remains mine alone.

I haven’t told him yet.

I’m carrying his child.
