The Scar No One Was Meant to See
Every nurse before Claire Rowan has walked out of Dominic Varela's house. He has a violent temper, a dangerous family name, and a fever nobody seems eager to explain. Claire stays long enough to notice the part of his medical history that does not fit: a bullet wounded his shoulder, but his legs are failing. Beneath his clothes, she finds a fresh incision on his lower back. Dominic says he never agreed to surgery there. His brother insists Claire is mistaken—and wants her phone before she can show anyone what she found. Once a trauma surgeon, Claire lost her career after challenging a powerful hospital. Now the same doctor connected to that old case appears in Dominic's records. To get him to safety, she must preserve the evidence, confront the family controlling his care, and risk reopening the case that nearly destroyed her. Dominic must decide whether exposing his brother is worth exposing the crimes he once helped conceal.

The Mafia Boss’s Son Chose Me
When struggling waitress Clara Hayes calms the grieving three-year-old son of New York’s most feared mafia boss, she expects to lose her job—not receive a life-changing offer. Ricardo Moretti hires Clara to live at his guarded Westchester estate and help Leo, a sensitive little boy still traumatized by his mother’s mysterious death. But when Ricardo’s cousin launches a custody battle, Clara is asked to play a far more dangerous role: Ricardo’s devoted fiancée. What begins as a contract soon becomes real. Leo starts trusting again. Ricardo reveals the wounded father beneath his ruthless reputation. And Clara, still carrying the grief of losing her own daughter, begins to believe she may have found a family worth fighting for. Then a hidden letter, a silver key, and a recording inside Leo’s music box reveal that Ricardo’s wife did not die by accident. With a traitor inside the Moretti family and powerful men determined to take Leo, Clara must decide whether loving Ricardo means entering his dangerous world—or helping him leave it behind.[Updated to: Chapter 10] -
