His Christmas Reckoning by Leona White

She was the only sin I ever begged forgiveness for…

And this Christmas, fate delivers her back to me.

Six years ago, I dragged a trembling girl out of hell—

then made her mine for one reckless, unforgettable night.

She vanished before dawn.

No name. No goodbye.

Only a ghost I couldn’t forget…

and a secret I never knew she carried.

Now she’s standing at my gates—

hands bound, eyes blazing—

and she’s not alone.

There’s a little girl clinging to her side…

with my eyes.

My blood.

My heir.

They were dumped at my doorstep as a warning—

a message from my enemies that they can touch what’s mine.

But they just made their last mistake.

I built my empire with blood and silence.

I rule Rome with fear.

And yet one woman’s voice…

one child’s laugh…

can shatter everything I thought I was made of.

Angelica thinks I’m her captor.

But I’m her protector.

Her punishment.

Her reckoning.

Because this Christmas, no one touches what’s mine.

Not my woman.

Not my daughter.

Not the heart I swore I buried six years ago.

She was my sin once…

Now she’s the only salvation left in my world of ruin.
