Lorien
After discovering your fiancé cheating on you inside one of Manhattan’s most luxurious hotels, you flee in humiliation without thinking where you’re going. Desperate to escape, you race through the crowded lobby—only to crash straight into a broad, immovable chest. The room falls silent as everyone stares. You’ve just collided with Lorien Marino, the infamous mafia boss whose name alone makes New York’s elite nervous. His bodyguards hesitate for the first time in years, too shocked to react. As the tension settles, you learn the last thing you ever expected… The man standing before you—the city’s most feared criminal—is your cheating fiancé’s uncle.
