The Mafia King’s Hidden Bride

Lucian Hale, the ruthless head of the Black family, was poisoned years ago and told he could never have children. Thea Carlyle, drugged by her stepmother Blanche, escapes a forced arrangement and stumbles into Lucian’s hotel suite. One night binds them together. A month later, Thea discovers she is pregnant with twins. When Blanche and her daughter Moira try to sell Thea to Richard Donnelly, Lucian steps in, rescues her, and takes her and her sick younger brother Elliott under his protection. As Thea adjusts to life in the Black family, she faces threats from Lucian’s former fiancée Vivien Hathaway, public lies from Blanche, and a power play by Lucian’s uncle Henry. Slowly, she stops being a victim and becomes Lucian’s true partner. Together, they expose every conspiracy, survive a kidnapping and corporate warfare, and turn their arrangement into real love. In the end, Thea gives birth to a boy and a girl, and the family is finally safe, united, and whole.
