Walang kinatatakutan ang bilyonaryong si Rainne Leon Marquez — hindi ang sakit, hindi ang kasalanan.

Matagal nang nilulunod ng platinum-selling singer na si Rainne ang sarili sa mga gamot. His body is a trap of wounds, his soul barely holding on. Unti-unti siyang nauubos — pero doon lang siya nakakaramdam ng buo. Hanggang sa isang matinding aksidente ang tuluyang bumasag sa katawan niya... at ginising siya sa mas mapanganib pang tukso: Ari Valencia, the cold, devastatingly beautiful private nurse assigned to save her... or ruin her softly, like a secret sin. Dahil sa pagitan ng isang pasyente at nurse — bawat halik ay kasalanan. Bawat gabi ay bawal na kalayaan. At kung hindi sila titigil, init ng laman ang maaaring magpabagsak sa pangalan nilang dalawa.

Elena Marquez has always lived a quiet life, caring for her little brother and helping her mother keep their small family shop alive. But peace has a price, and her late father’s debts have begun to circle back like vultures. When the DeLuca family — the most feared mafia clan in the city — comes to collect, Elena is forced into their world. There, she meets Adrian DeLuca, the infamous heir to the DeLuca empire. Cold, calculating, and dangerous, Adrian is everything she should fear — but something in his eyes unsettles her. What neither of them know is that Adrian’s father — the powerful Don Vittorio DeLuca — is the man responsible for her father’s death. As Elena is drawn deeper into the DeLuca world, tension turns to reluctant trust, and trust slowly burns into something far more dangerous — love. But when the truth comes to light, Elena must decide if she can ever forgive the blood that runs through Adrian’s veins… and Adrian must choose whether to remain his father’s heir, or burn everything down to protect the woman he loves. A story of love, vengeance, and power, Mafia’s Heir is a slow-burn, heart-wrenching romance that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
