His Miracle Heir - undefined novels & stories
Phoebe Luna
Synopsis: Fifty years old, No heir. For twenty-five years, Lorenzo De Luca has ruled New York's underworld with absolute power. Feared as the ruthless head of the De Luca Crime Family, he has everything a man could desire—wealth, influence, and an empire built on fear. Yet behind his cold exterior lies one silent regret. After suffering a near-fatal injury in his youth, Lorenzo was told he could never father children, convincing him that his bloodline would end with him. Everything changes after an assassination attempt leaves him wounded and suffering from a powerful neurotoxin. Escaping into the service corridors of an exclusive private club, he is rescued by Isabella Carvalho, a twenty-four-year-old Brazilian graduate architecture student working as an event coordinator to pay her tuition and support her widowed mother back home. Unaware of his true identity, Isabella risks everything to save a stranger's life. During one unforgettable night, two lonely hearts find comfort in each other before parting ways without exchanging their real names. Three months later, Isabella discovers she is pregnant. As she struggles to protect her unborn child while pursuing her dreams, Lorenzo uncovers shocking evidence proving he is finally going to become a father. But the miracle comes at a devastating price. Hidden enemies, rival mafia families, and traitors within his own organization will stop at nothing to eliminate the child destined to inherit the De Luca empire. Forced together by danger, Lorenzo vows to protect Isabella and their unborn baby at all costs. But winning her trust proves far more difficult than defeating his enemies. As long-buried secrets, betrayals, and a decades-old conspiracy surrounding his false infertility diagnosis begin to unravel, Lorenzo must choose between the empire he spent a lifetime building and the family he never believed he could have.

In a world where having power means having a target on your back, love isn't a fairy tale, it's a risk. Luca Moretti never wanted to be a piece in someone else's game. He’s a man who values his family above everything else, and that’s exactly how they got to him. To save the people he loves, Luca is forced into a marriage he didn't ask for, tied to a man who represents everything he fears. Adrian Voss doesn't do "feelings." After a past that left him cold and a lifestyle that demands total authority, he built an empire where he is the only one in charge. For Adrian, marrying Luca isn't about starting a life together. It’s about a deal. It’s about having someone under his roof that he can control, own, and break. Behind the closed doors of their shared home, the public smiles disappear. Adrian doesn't want a husband; he wants a shadow. He wants to see how much Luca can take before he finally snaps. He’s determined to strip away Luca’s pride until there’s nothing left. But Adrian made one mistake: he underestimated who he was marrying. Luca might be trapped, but he isn't broken. As the two men move through a dangerous dance of manipulation and a strange, heated attraction they both hate, the lines between "enemy" and "lover" begin to blur.

He Watched Me Grow…Then Claimed Me - undefined novels & stories
Ghostgoddess.
• • • FOR ADULT READERS ONLY • • •️️️ I shouldn’t have wanted him. Not when he was older. Not when he was untouchable. Not when he was my father’s best friend. Not when he belonged to a world I was never meant to step into. But I did. I was five years old when I decided he was mine. Standing at his wife’s graveside in the rain, I held his face with my little hands and told him I would grow up and be his. He said: Is that right. Not a question. So I kept my word. Adrian Keller. My father's best friend. The man who watched me grow. The man who built an empire on control. The man no one touches. The man I wasn’t supposed to want. For thirteen years, I loved him the only way I was allowed to. In silence. At a distance. Across rooms that belonged to our families — not to what I was carrying. Until the night I turned eighteen. I said it out loud. He shut it down in one word: “Don’t.” So I did. I stopped looking at him. I stopped wanting him. I stopped being the girl who built her entire world around a man who would never choose her. I walked away. That should have been the end. It wasn’t. Because the moment I stopped reaching for him, was the moment Adrian Keller started looking for me. Across rooms. Across tables. At midnight — staring at a name he shouldn’t want. The man who taught me control is starting to lose his. And this time… He’s not asking. And underneath the empire, Underneath the discipline, Underneath fifteen years of unshakable control— Something ruinous is coming loose.
