Blurb: I thought agreeing to carry a stranger's child was the hardest decision I'd ever make. I was wrong. Armani Del Rossi is everything I don't want-cold, controlling, and untouchably powerful. But when he offered me the chance to save my father's life, I couldn't say no. What started as a simple contract became so much more. Living under his roof, I discovered a man haunted by secrets, a man whose obsession with control extends even to me. But then the danger began. Gifts from an unknown sender, threats I couldn't explain, and a betrayal that shattered the fragile trust between us. When his world collided with mine, I learned the truth about Armani-he's a mafia lord, and his enemies will stop at nothing to destroy him. Now, my baby and I are caught in the crossfire. Armani swears he'll protect me, but can I trust a man who's built a life on violence and vengeance? Or is falling for him the biggest risk of all?

SURROGATE FOR THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 1 THE SEATTLE ENCOUNTER

Armani leaned back in his chair, looking out the window as the smell of fried fish filled the small restaurant. He was in Seattle, a place he'd only visited once before for a fancy party years ago. That event hadn't left much of an impression, but this trip was different. It was important.

The fish on his plate was crispy and fresh, just like Benedict had promised. Benedict always said it was the best in the world, and maybe he was right. But Armani barely tasted it. The uncomfortable chair and cheap table didn't bother him as much as the thoughts running through his head.

Armani del Rossi was no ordinary man. He ruled his world from the shadows, the name "Del Rossi" whispered with fear and reverence across continents. He was a mafia lord-a ruthless, calculating figure who commanded loyalty through power and fear. Possession was his creed. Control was his doctrine. And anything he wanted, he took.

Recently, his mind had been elsewhere. Benedict had a daughter, and even Xavier-of all people-had a son now. When Benedict's baby was born, Armani hadn't thought much of it. Babies cried, made messes, and didn't interest him. But Xavier's son was different. Seeing how Xavier changed after becoming a father had made Armani think about his own future. Maybe he wanted a child too-an heir to carry on his name.

This idea surprised him. Armani had spent most of his life avoiding serious relationships. Settling down had never been part of his plan. But now, the thought of a child had taken root. He wanted someone to continue his legacy, but he didn't want the complications that came with a relationship.

That's why he was here. Earlier that day, he had visited a legal firm in Seattle that specialized in surrogacy-helping people have children with the help of a surrogate mother. They were known for being private and professional. Armani had spent hours looking through profiles of potential surrogates, but none of them felt right.

One woman had seemed promising. She was smart, accomplished, and beautiful. But there was a problem-she wanted to share custody of the child. That was a deal-breaker. Armani's plan required the surrogate to give up all rights to the child. No strings attached.

He sighed and stared out at the water. "Why does this have to be so complicated?" he muttered. The waves outside didn't offer any answers.

Armani's frustration grew as he thought about the lawyer's words earlier. The man had told him he was being unrealistic. "At some point, your child will want to know who their mother is," the lawyer had said. Armani had disagreed. He wanted a clear and simple arrangement, but finding the right person was proving harder than he expected.

A loud voice from the booth behind him broke through his thoughts. "That's ridiculous!" the woman said. Her tone was sharp and filled with frustration. Armani couldn't help but listen.

He glanced over his shoulder and saw her. She was stunning, with long black hair and striking blue eyes. She held a phone to her ear, her face tight with anger as she argued with someone. "This has to be a joke," she said, disbelief clear in her voice.

Armani quickly looked away, reminding himself that he hadn't come to Seattle to be distracted by anyone, no matter how beautiful they were. But something about her caught his attention. Her voice rose again, this time sounding almost desperate.

"A million dollars?" she said, her tone sharp and incredulous. "Where am I supposed to get a million dollars?"

Her words lingered in the air, and Armani found himself thinking about her, even though he knew he shouldn't. He tried to focus on his original purpose, but his mind kept drifting back to the woman with the fierce blue eyes and the

frustration in her voice.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
