Mafia Shade ’s Reluctant Bride by Alexis Lee

I said yes to a fake marriage.
Not to accidentally falling for the man who might’ve killed my father.

Lorenzo Mancini is impossible to ignore—charming CEO by day, mafia ghost by night.
And worst of all? He’s dangerously familiar.
He doesn’t know we’ve met before—five years ago, in a mask, in the dark.
That night ended with blood on his hands—and a child in my belly.
He has no idea he’s the father.
Which makes this fake marriage the perfect setup.
Now I’m stuck playing house with the man who might’ve killed my father—
And who still kisses like he owns my soul.
He wants a marriage of convenience.
I want blood, answers, and payback.
One mansion. One bed.
And a little boy upstairs with his eyes—
The kind of secret that doesn’t stay quiet for long.

Lorenzo
I recognized her the second she stepped through my door.
Maria Ricci. My enemy’s daughter. My bride.
The woman who once clawed at my back and moaned for more while hiding behind a mask.
Now she plays the perfect wife, spinning stories with those pretty lips.
Lie to my face？Pretend she doesn’t remember the night we spent tangled in shadows？
That’s fine. The deeper she digs, the harder she’ll fall.
And the little boy she hid behind her dress?
Luckily I’m patient. And when I make her confess— It won’t be with words.
