Royal Deception by Renee Zara

One forbidden boss. One secret baby.

And one collar that could ruin everything.

By day, I’m his assistant—plus-sized, overlooked, ruled by my wicked stepmother.

By night?

I’m the girl who broke every rule… in a pub closet… with my cold, commanding mafia boss.

Rory Brannagan runs the Irish mob like a machine—ruthless, brilliant, untouchable.

I was never supposed to matter.

But one drunken mistake changed everything.

Now I’m hiding his baby.

And wearing the eternity collar he once locked around my throat.

Not just a necklace.

A contract. A secret. A promise I can’t afford to keep.

While danger stalks his empire and a glamorous new client turns his head, I pretend I’m fine.

I pretend I’m not breaking.

But when the truth finally explodes?

I’ll either lose him forever…

Or finally hear the one word I’ve always longed for.

Stay.
