The thick smoke burned my lungs, and I could not see the men shooting at us in the dark. I only heard the loud crack of gunfire bouncing off the stone walls of my childhood home. I reached out to grab my mother to pull her behind the tall pillars, but my hands grasped empty air.

A sudden, warm touch brushed against my shoulder.

My body reacted before my brain could process the gentle contact. Years of brutal survival training hijacked my nervous system in a fraction of a second. I did not wak

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   HARVEST

    Mrs. Halloway placed the woven basket of red tomatoes onto the far end of the counter and tried to hide her knowing smile. She did not mention the intense moment she just interrupted, but her eyes danced with amusement when she looked at Kade."I washed these tomatoes for you," Mrs. Halloway said smoothly. "Do you need help cleaning up this massive flour explosion, or do you have the situation under control?""We have it under control," Kade answered, clearing his throat. He ran his hand through his hair to shake out the white powder. "Amelia is just teaching us how to make the dough from scratch.""I can see that," the older woman chuckled softly. "I will leave you three to finish your cooking lesson. Just make sure you save a slice for me."She turned around and walked back through the swinging kitchen door. I let out a long breath and dropped the wooden spoon into the empty bowl. My face still felt very hot. I glanced over at Kade, expecting him to retreat back into his cold shell a

    Sunlight filled the bedroom when I finally opened my eyes the next morning. The space beside me was empty and the sheets felt cold against my skin. Kade had already left the bed, but the heavy weight of his midnight warning still lingered in the air around me.He told me to run away. He warned me that he was a monster, and he truly believed he did not deserve any comfort.I sat up and pulled the warm duvet over my lap while I thought about his confession in the dark. He choked me in his sleep because he was trapped in a nightmare about his murdered parents. He carried so much trauma on his broad shoulders, yet he always put his daughter's safety first.I made a firm decision right then and there. I refused to pack my bags, and I refused to run out the front door. I decided I would stay here and pull him into the light.I washed my face and changed into comfortable blue jeans before I walked down the main staircase. The estate felt very different today. The heavy tension from the Russi

    The thick smoke burned my lungs, and I could not see the men shooting at us in the dark. I only heard the loud crack of gunfire bouncing off the stone walls of my childhood home. I reached out to grab my mother to pull her behind the tall pillars, but my hands grasped empty air. A sudden, warm touch brushed against my shoulder. My body reacted before my brain could process the gentle contact. Years of brutal survival training hijacked my nervous system in a fraction of a second. I did not wake up from the nightmare, yet my muscles sprang into lethal action to neutralize the perceived threat. I twisted my torso violently to the left and grabbed the unseen attacker. I used my heavy body weight to flip the threat backward onto the mattress, making sure to roll far away from where my daughter was sleeping. I straddled the person instantly, pinning their shoulders down against the soft sheets. My right hand clamped down hard around a slender throat, and I squeezed my fingers together to

    Nick stepped further into the study with his hand hovering over his radio. He frowned at me, his eyes scanning the quiet room. "What is wrong? Did Svetlana break the truce already?"I needed to hide my panic quickly so he wouldn't ask about the open wall safe behind my back. My mind raced to find a logical excuse for my sudden tension. "Svetlana's sedans got way too close to our vehicle during the standoff at the storage unit," I lied, keeping my expression stoic. "Her men had enough time to plant a magnetic GPS tracker on the undercarriage of our SUV while we were distracted by the phone call."Nick cursed under his breath and shook his head. "I should have checked the wheel wells before we left the industrial district.""Take a tactical team down to the garage right now," I told him. "Sweep the vehicle, check the tire rims, and sweep the perimeter of the driveway just in case it fell off."Nick nodded without questioning my logic. He turned around and rushed back out the door to ex

    Svetlana’s voice echoed out of the small phone speaker, and her arrogant certainty instantly changed the entire dynamic of the room.She knew I would never expose my own criminal operations to the federal government.She called my bluff perfectly, and the four armed men standing at the end of the asphalt corridor racked their automatic rifles in unison to prove her point.I reached my right hand down toward my holster because the negotiation was officially over. I planned to drop the burner phone onto the concrete floor and push Amelia securely behind the massive steel safe. I knew I could eliminate two of the targets before they reached the doorway, but the resulting crossfire would be incredibly dangerous. My chest tightened with absolute dread because I had brought the woman I swore to protect directly into a fatal trap.Before my fingers could even touch the grip of my weapon, Amelia stepped directly in front of me. She did not panic, and she did not try to run away from the open

    The sheer panic in Nick's voice completely erased the temporary victory we had just secured. "Nick, do not engage those vehicles," Kade ordered immediately through the open radio channel. He dropped his hand away from his holstered weapon and reached out to grab my upper arm. "Do not let them see you standing near the street. Stay perfectly hidden in the shadows and wait for my direct command.""They are blocking the only exit route out of the facility," Nick replied anxiously over the small speaker. "I cannot drive the heavy SUV forward without crashing directly into their front bumpers. We are completely trapped inside the alley.""Hold your current position," Kade repeated in a very firm, authoritative tone before he disconnected the radio link entirely. He tightened his grip on my arm and pulled me rapidly backward. We retreated away from the open doorway and stepped deep into the cold darkness of the concrete storage unit. The freezing wind blew through the open roll-up door,

    The heavy weight of Kade's body pressed down firmly against my legs, and his large hands gripped my wrists tightly against the thick black training mat. The air inside the large private gym felt incredibly thin because his face was hovering only a few inches above mine. He had just asked me what I

    "A nanny, to be specific," he clarified, turning his attention back to his tablet as the car began to move smoothly down the highway.I let out a harsh, disbelief-filled laugh. I couldn't help it. The hysteria was bubbling up again. "A nanny? You expect me to believe that? No one pays that kind of

    I stared at the three large black garment bags hanging on the wooden coat rack in the corner of the study, and my heart immediately began to race against my ribs. Kade had just declared that we were attending the annual Silvano Foundation charity gala tomorrow night, and he expected me to accompany

    "Go back to bed, Amelia," Kade said, his voice carrying through the silent house. "You don't want to know what's downstairs."I stood there on the landing. My bare feet sank into the plush carpet. The air in the foyer was cold. Kade stood in the moonlight coming through the high window.
