My Biker Mafia Stepbrother
Candice Harper’s world shatters when her mother remarries billionaire Sanna d’Agostino just weeks after divorcing her beloved father. Uprooted from New York to a glittering Los Angeles mansion, the 17-year-old senior vows to endure one year of this gilded cage before escaping to college—and freedom. But freedom becomes a distant dream the moment she locks eyes with her new stepbrother: Mantovani d’Agostino, the infamous mafia underboss hiding behind a polished facade of wealth.
Mantovani is a storm wrapped in control—ruthless, volatile, and haunted by a darkness he refuses to name. Ordered by his father to play English teacher at Candice’s elite academy while hunting the sheriff dismantling their empire, he plans to despise the innocent girl invading his world. One glance at her fragile beauty among the lilies, however, ignites a forbidden fire he can’t extinguish. She’s off-limits. She’s, his stepsister. Yet every shared breath in their opulent prison tightens the noose of desire around his throat.
As Candice navigates a life of bodyguards, paparazzi, and a mother obsessed with status, she’s drawn to the brooding enigma who fleas from her presence yet watches her like she’s prey. Strange midnight visits, heated glances, and whispered commands blur the line between protection and possession. Mantovani fights to bury his hunger, but the mafia’s shadows creep closer—enemies circle, secrets unravel, and a single misstep could destroy them both.
In a world where loyalty is blood and love is a death sentence, Candice and Mantovani must choose to surrender to the inferno threatening to consume them… or burn the empire down trying to resist.

Chapter: She's all I seeMantovani's P.O.VI couldn’t understand why I acted like this around Candice. I had gone to her room to make up for being rude, but everything I said and did felt wrong. I hated myself for feeling things no brother should feel.Conti was wrong to call Candice our sister. I saw myself as a threat to her. I remembered the terrible things my father did to me and wanted to keep Candice safe from that. But after what happened with Jane, I feared Candice needed protection from me more than anyone else.I couldn’t sleep. My mind kept drifting to Candice—her shy, quiet way, the way she moved. It made something twist deep inside me, a heat I couldn’t shake. When she called me "brother," I felt a bit guilty, how could I have such thoughts and feelings towards my new sister? but it only made the desire burn hotter. I told myself it was just frustration, that I was craving something else."Argh, I can't sleep," I muttered to myself as I got out of bed and paced the garden, hoping the cool night

Chapter: Strange ManCandice P.O.V.I rolled around my bed like a restless kitten, moving from one side to the other. This weird habit had followed me since childhood. I always rolled around when I felt angry, bored, or annoyed. Sometimes I even fell off, but I never cared—it helped me feel calmer.I had already unpacked my things in this oversized room that looked like it came straight from a dollhouse. Pink and purple everywhere, a giant princess bed, and a bathroom bigger than my old bedroom. Any normal girl would have squealed in excitement, but I didn’t feel anything except emptiness. I missed my old small room where everything smelled like home.The wardrobe was filled with expensive clothes—dresses, skirts, shoes, bags—all shiny and new. I didn’t even bother to look at half of it. I hated dresses. My go-to was jeans, hoodies, and sneakers. All of this felt like my mother’s doing, her way of turning me into some rich man’s showpiece.Sanna had spent a fortune trying to impress me. I wondered why he

Chapter: Keep it TogetherMantovani's P.O.V.I needed to clear my. Most importantly, I had to leave that house before I snapped.I didn’t know why I was driving to Conti’s, but I needed to talk to someone. My father had sent me to pick up his new wife and her daughter, Candice, this morning. He told me to behave, hide the mafia side, and act like the perfect older brother—the same lecture I’d heard too many times.I was already mad about it all, so I made a dumb plan last night. I wanted to make Candice’s life miserable, to make her regret entering our world. I couldn’t kill anymore because of rules. Torturing was my only escape. But now, because of Candice, I had to pretend to be good.But when I saw her, everything crumbled.Last night, Conti warned me I’d be teaching at her school. I should have known she was a teenager. But I didn’t listen. I was too annoyed to care. My plan to torment her turned to ash the moment I laid eyes on her.This morning, while I was deep in business talk with Mariano, I caught si

Chapter: The First MeetingCandice's P.O.V.I stood at the Los Angeles airport, gripping my suitcase while Mom bounced beside me, fixing her lipstick like a teenager. Since my stepdad said he’d pick us up, she acted like it was the biggest honor.Sanna d' Agostino was a famous billionaire, but I didn’t get why Mom acted like a giddy schoolgirl. My real dad always picked us up, and no one made a fuss.I heard loud footsteps and a high-pitched giggle. I turned and saw Mom making out with Sanna like it was a show. I wanted to throw up.The same woman who scolded my dad for public affection was now kissing her new husband. The divorce was just a month old. Maybe this had been going on longer. They never told me, so I stayed quiet.Sanna came over grinning too wide. “Candice, sweetheart! How are you?”I forced a smile. “I’m fine, Mr. d' Agostino.”Mom shot me a glare, but I didn’t care. I had a plan: one year, then college far from this mess.“No need for formalities,” Sanna said. “Call me Dad.”I smiled fake. “My d

Chapter: PILOT CHAPTER 1: PILOTCandice’s P.O.V.I stood at the gate with my suitcase dragging at my side. The house looked the same, but it didn’t feel like home anymore. Curtains drawn, windows locked. Still, I waited, hoping Dad would come out—just once.Behind me, Mom leaned against the car, tapping her fingers on the roof. “Candice,” she called, her voice sharper than before. “He doesn’t want to see you. Let’s go.”I ignored her and rang the bell again. The sound echoed inside, but nothing moved. My chest tightened. He was in there. I knew it. He just didn’t want to face me.I turned away, fighting the sting in my eyes, when the door creaked open.“Princess.”His voice was faint, broken. I spun back. Dad stood in the doorway, thinner than I remembered, shadows beneath his eyes.“I… I didn’t hear the bell,” he said, his lips twisting into a forced smile.I knew he had, but I didn’t argue. I dropped my suitcase and ran into his arms. His embrace felt weaker, but it was still home.“I shouldn’t h
