Billionaire Mafia Don Matteo De Luca,34 hasn't felt anything since the day his wife died giving birth to his son. For five years, he has been ice — ruthless in the underworld, feared in every room he enters, a ghost in his own mansion. The only time the ice cracks is for his son. His 5-year-old, Enzo is his entire world, his only weakness, the only person his enemies could ever use against him.His new executive secretary, Elara Quinn, is 24, innocent to the blood and games of his world but confident enough to not flinch when Matteo snaps. She’s warm, soft-spoken, and the only one who looks him in the eye without fear.On a day when his guards are compromised and threats loom near, Matteo is forced to bring Enzo to the office at De Luca Enterprises. Enzo is hiding under Elara’s desk within ten minutes, laughing for the first time in months. By the end of the day, he refuses to leave without her. “Can Miss Lala be my mamma?”Elara becomes the only person who can get Enzo to eat, sleep without nightmares of losing his father too, and smile. Matteo watches, both terrified and obsessed. He sees his son getting attached and knows that in his world, attachment is dangerous. Elara will eventually leave — or worse, his enemies will notice how much Enzo loves her.So he makes a proposition. Cold, logical, possessive.“Un anno. A one-year contract marriage. You live in my estate, under my protection. You take care of Enzo. You will be his mother, my wife in name to the outside world. You’ll want for nothing on the condition of no feelings,no complications.”Elara says yes because she needs the money for her mother’s surgery, not knowing what she’s truly agreeing to — that in Matteo De Luca’s world, a contract marriage isn’t just paper. It’s ownership. And once she is his wife and Enzo’s mother, he will never let her go. Will Matteo and Elara stay true to their contract or will Matteo realize that the condition he set will end up being broken by him. Join them on their journey through threats from gangs and other mafias, office drama and their various attempts to not fall for each other.
