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.
