The Maid Who Ran From the Don

Bianca was sold to the Moretti crime family to settle a debt. She worked as a maid, keeping her head down. But over the years, she became the one person always near Alessandro—pressing his suits, pouring his wine, and she fell for him.

Worried by rumors that Alessandro was impotent, his grandmother ordered Bianca to seduce him. She gave her an ultimatum: succeed and the family debt disappears. Fail, and she wouldn't be coming back. One night, Bianca climbed into his bed. He didn't send her away. For weeks, he wanted her every night. Bianca started to believe she meant something more.

Then she overheard him with his friends. She's just a maid, he said. A bit of amusement. A man like me will have countless women. She left that night and never looked back. She was already pregnant.

Four years later, Alessandro found her in a quiet town. She was running a small restaurant. Standing beside her was a little girl who looked just like her—except for his eyes, the same dark gaze. He had a daughter he never knew about. Now he has to figure out how to be part of a family he didn't know existed. Bianca has to decide if she can let him in.
