He walked away once. She made sure he'd never get the chance to walk away from this.
Nico Amante was supposed to be the fun one. Fast, funny, impossible to pin down — until Freya Marsh found out exactly how far he'd go to keep her safe without ever telling her she needed protecting in the first place.
So she left. No goodbye speech, no last chance. Just gone.
Eight months later, a man with a gun and a target on his back shows up at her door — and standing right behind him is the one person she never expected to see again, staring at her like the ground just fell out from under him.
Because Freya isn't just in danger.
She's eight months pregnant. And it's his.
Nico doesn't do half-measures. He never has. But proving he's changed — that he can share the fear instead of hiding it, that he can love her out loud instead of managing her from a careful distance — might be the hardest job he's ever taken on. Especially with an enemy circling closer with every day that passes, and a family that needs him whole for the first time in his life.
His Secret Heir is a full-length, dark mafia romance with a hero who has to earn back everything he lost, a heroine who refuses to be managed twice, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Contains explicit content and themes some readers may find intense — see content notes below.
