At the mansion

The old Moretti mansion loomed at the end of the winding drive, its windows dark except for a single light flickering in the east wing. Marco killed the headlights and the convoy rolled to a silent stop behind the iron gates, which stood wide open. That open gate was wrong. It meant Greta wanted us to follow, or she didn't care if we did.

"I count one heat signature." Marco's voice crackled through my earpiece. "East wing, second floor. That was Lorenzo's private study. Whatever she's looking f

  • The Don's Forbidden Claim   Wait! What? A third!

    "You expect me to surrender?" I stared at my twin, at the cold precision of her posture, at the way her eyes tracked me without blinking. "I didn't walk through a war to kneel at your feet."Celeste's laughter echoed across the marble steps. "Bold words from a girl who stumbled into power by accident. You think you've earned your place at Dante's side? You were a pawn the night you walked into the wrong suite, and you're a pawn now. The only difference is that I'm offering you a choice.""Alessio offered me choices too. They were all lies." I stepped forward, feeling Dante's presence solid at my back. "What makes yours any different?""Because I don't need to lie." Celeste placed her hand on Elara's shoulder, and the girl remained perfectly still. "Your sister has been trained for twenty-two years to replace you. She knows every detail of your life—your foster homes, your relationship with Enzo, the night you walked into Dante's penthouse. She's studied you the way an artist studies a

    "You sold more than one child?" I turned toward my mother, the photograph shaking in my grip. She was still sitting on the overturned crate, the dawn light harsh on her bruised face, and when her eyes met mine, I saw the answer before she spoke a single word.Enzo stood frozen beside her. "Mom. What is she talking about?"My mother's hands trembled in her lap. "I wanted to tell you. Both of you. I tried to write it in the letter, but I couldn't find the words. Every time I tried, I saw their faces.""Their faces." I stepped closer, the phone still clutched in my hand. "You sold Enzo first. I know that. But the caption says I'm not the first child you sold. Who else?"She closed her eyes, and the tears that slipped down her cheeks were decades old. "I was twenty-three when I had Enzo. Lorenzo's people took him three days after he was born. I thought that was the end of it—the one terrible choice I'd have to live with forever. But two years later, I found out I was pregnant again. With

  • The Don's Forbidden Claim   Alessio's Matron

    "Alessio answered to someone?" Dante's voice was sharp as broken glass. "That's impossible. My brother doesn't answer to anyone. He'd rather die than kneel."I turned the phone toward him, watching his face as he read the message again. The dawn light caught the tight set of his jaw, the way his throat moved when he swallowed. Whoever this woman was, the idea that Alessio had a master terrified him more than any gun."I thought we'd won." My voice came out smaller than I wanted. "Alessio captured, Isabella disarmed, Greta in custody. I thought it was over.""It's never over with my family." He handed the phone back and turned to Marco, who was coordinating the prisoner transport on the dock below. "I need everything we have on Alessio's financial backers. Shell companies, offshore accounts, property holdings. Someone's been funding his war from the shadows, and I want to know who."Marco nodded and disappeared down the ladder. The roof suddenly felt too exposed, the golden sunrise too

  • The Don's Forbidden Claim   Armed with bombs

    "Armed with what?" Dante's voice cut through the chaos on the roof, and every man within earshot went still.Marco's response crackled through my earpiece, grim and urgent. "Explosives. Enough to bring down the whole east wing. She's barricaded herself in the basement control room and she's asking for you, boss. Says she'll detonate if anyone else comes down."The weight of those words pressed against my chest. Isabella had followed us from the compound. She'd watched us rescue my mother, watched Enzo fight for us, watched Alessio get captured on this roof. And now she was in the basement with a bomb, demanding an audience with the husband she'd betrayed."I'm going down there." Dante holstered his weapon, his face unreadable."She tried to frame you for murder. She helped Alessio bury a body." I grabbed his arm before he could move toward the roof hatch. "If she's cornered and desperate—""Then she needs to see someone who isn't holding a gun. Someone who knew her before all of this.

  • The Don's Forbidden Claim   The Devil Unchained

    Alessio Moretti stood on the warehouse roof like he'd been invited to a party. His silver hair caught the dawn light, and his smile was the same one he'd worn in the penthouse lobby—amused, patient, utterly certain of his own victory.Dante's weapon was already aimed at his brother's chest. "How did you get out?""The same way I've done everything for the past twenty years. Planning." Alessio spread his hands, showing he was unarmed. "You found Greta. Congratulations. But did you really think a woman who spent thirty years as my eyes and ears was my only asset? I have people in the federal transfer system. People in the guard rotation. People who owe me favors you can't even imagine."Marco's men fanned out across the roof, their weapons raised. My mother was still behind me, her breath ragged, her hands shaking. Enzo stood frozen near the ventilation shaft, his knuckles white around the pipe he'd used to save us."You're outnumbered and unarmed." Dante's voice was ice. "Whatever you'

  • The Don's Forbidden Claim   My freaking brother

    Enzo's message glowed on my screen, and the fragile peace I'd felt seconds ago shattered. My mother hadn't run. She'd been taken. I read the words three times, my thumb hovering over the reply button while my mind raced through every possible enemy who'd want Sarah Kane silenced.Dante leaned over my shoulder, his jaw tightening as he scanned the text. "He says he knows who took her. Ask him where he is."I typed the question with shaking fingers. The reply came almost instantly, as if Enzo had been waiting with his phone already in his hand. The old boathouse on Pier 14. Come alone, Essa. I'm serious this time. They're watching me too."He's been saying 'come alone' since the Rossi estate." Dante's voice was flat, but I caught the undercurrent of frustration. "Every time you do, you end up with a gun pointed at your head.""He also dropped the folder and walked away when he could have destroyed you." I turned to face him, the phone still clutched in my grip. "He's trying. After every
