Under His Protection (The Constella Family Book 1)

"I now pronounce you man and wife." Those were the last words I heard before my life imploded. My brother, gambling addict and eternal screw-up, had just bet me away to a ruthless motorcycle club. Now I'm property of the Devil's Brothers MC. Or I would be, if not for him. Dante Constella. Mafia boss. My father's oldest friend. And the man who's offered to save me by pretending to be my boyfriend. At 49, he's more than twice my age, with a reputation that makes hardened criminals tremble. But when his arms wrap around me, I feel anything but afraid. Our 'fake' relationship delivers more than I ever bargained for: A silver fox who sets my body on fire. Every touch, every kiss feels more real than the last. But is it all just an act? A new world of wealth and danger. Designer dresses and gala dinners are a far cry from my waitressing gig, but so are shootouts and kidnapping attempts. A future I never dared to dream of. As Dante's enemies close in, I realize I'm not the only one with something to lose. With every passing day, the line between pretend and reality blurs. Until there's only one thing we know for sure. This isn't fake anymore. And with a baby on the way, the stakes have never been higher. Under His Protection is an age-gap, mafia romance with steamy scenes, surprise pregnancy, and dark themes that may trigger some readers. This book is intended for mature audiences only.
