Claimed by the Dragon Prince
“You killed my father.” The dragon prince smiled. “I went to a great deal of trouble to be captured by you.” Commander Lucian Winters has the man he blames for his father’s murder in chains. He only needs to reach into Kaelen’s mind and find the truth. Then the chains snap. Kaelen knows Lucian’s scent. He remembers the winter they met. And he remembers a promise he made to a boy in the snow fifteen years ago, on a night someone erased from Lucian’s memory. When Lucian’s own house brands him a traitor and orders his execution, he has to run with the dragon he swore to kill. Kaelen knows what happened on the night Lucian’s father died. The longer they spend together, the harder it gets for Lucian to decide what scares him more: that Kaelen might be telling the truth, or that he wants the dragon to stay even after he’s heard it. Then Kaelen leaves a golden mark on his throat, and Lucian discovers just how much a dragon means when he says he’ll never let go.BL|Dark Secrets|Dragons|Second Chance16.3k words5 7 -

The Mafia Boss's Son Chose Me
Everyone at the billionaire charity gala treated Dante Moretti's autistic son like an embarrassment. Everyone except me. I was just a waitress trying to survive another exhausting shift when I saw eight-year-old Leo trembling beneath the grand staircase, overwhelmed by the noise and cruel whispers around him. I knelt beside him and gently tapped the marble floor four times. I never expected him to respond. And I certainly never expected his father—the most feared mafia boss in New York—to order his guards to investigate me. But when Dante tried to send me away, Leo grabbed my apron and whispered: **"Daddy, please don't make her go. She's the only one who asked me what I needed."** One unexpected moment brought me into the Moretti family's world. Behind Dante's ruthless reputation, I discovered a lonely father desperate to understand his son. And behind Leo's quiet eyes was a little boy who simply wanted someone to listen. I never intended to fall for a dangerous man. I never imagined loving his son like my own. But sometimes, the family you never knew you needed is the one that chooses you first. **His son chose me. But would his father ever let himself love me?**Maid/Nanny|Mafia|Dark Secrets|Glow-Up6.2k words5 30 -
