Married to the Mafia, Who Can’t Recognize My Face

Tamara Rigby became the wife of the most feared man in the city without ever being truly seen. Rafael Tanque — the king of the underground, the man who rules blood, money, and loyalty with an iron hand — cannot recognize faces. Not hers. Not his enemies’. Not even the woman he married. To the world, Tamara is the beautiful mafia bride standing beside Rafael Tanque. To Rafael, she is a voice. A scent. A presence he cannot escape. And that terrifies him more than any gun ever could. When a brutal ambush nearly kills Rafael, something inside his damaged mind fractures. The condition he has hidden for years — his inability to recognize faces — worsens, erasing even the fragile map he had built of his own wife. Tamara becomes a stranger sleeping in his bed… yet somehow, his body, his instincts, and his obsession know she is his. He does not remember her face. But his hands remember how she fits against him. His heartbeat remembers her. His anger burns when she pulls away. Trapped inside a marriage where the man who owns her life cannot even identify her, Tamara must survive a world of betrayal, mafia politics, and a husband whose love is as dangerous as his power. But the real nightmare begins when their child disappears. Kidnapped from under the Tanque empire itself, the missing baby becomes the ultimate weapon. Enemies move in the shadows, manipulating Rafael’s blindness and Tamara’s desperation, forcing them into a deadly game where every memory, every touch, and every secret could either save their family — or destroy it. Tamara refuses to be just a silent mafia wife. She becomes ruthless. She becomes cunning. She becomes willing to burn the entire criminal world if that is what it takes to get her child back. Rafael, consumed by obsession, guilt, and a twisted form of devotion he cannot fully understand, grows more possessive the more he fears losing her. He cannot see her face — but he will kill anyone who dares to touch what belongs to him. In a city where loyalty is bought, love is a weakness, and blood is the only truth, a woman without a recognized face and a man who cannot see must fight their own past, their enemies, and each other to keep what little family they have left. Because in Rafael Tanque’s world… Even love can become a weapon.

The Billionaire's Secret Baby

She sold her body to save her mother’s life. She never expected the man she gave it to… would be her new boss. Or the father of her child. Isabella Howells had her future mapped out—until everything shattered in one day. Her mother was dying, her fiancé had stolen everything, and with nowhere left to turn, Isabella made a desperate decision that would haunt her forever. Five years later, she’s a single mother craving a fresh start in a quiet town. When she lands a dream job as executive assistant at StoneTech Solutions, it feels like fate is finally on her side—until she walks into her new boss’s office and comes face to face with Jake Stones, the man she thought she’d never see again. The one-night stand. The man who swore he couldn't have children but was somehow the father of her son, Timothy. Would she be able to do her job without thinking about the past? What happens when Jake Stones is bent on making Isabella his, unaware of his secret baby with her? Will she accept him? What happens when Jake's brother's schemes puts Timothy's life in danger and Isabella is forced to reveal the truth about Timothy's paternity? Will Jake accept this truth? Or will it break him and everything he'd ever come to know about Isabella Howells? Let's find out in this story of love, lies, betrayal, and a second chance that could cost everything. ******Excerpt****** Jake leaned back slowly, eyes narrowing, studying her with new intensity. "Tell me, Miss Howells," he said carefully, "have we met before?" Bella's heart lurched, panic flashing through her veins. Did he recognize her? It couldn't be. If he did, he wouldn't have asked her that. Besides, she had a reason to recognize his face, but him? He didn't have a reason to. She concluded. She forced herself to laugh lightly, shaking her head. "No, sir. I don't think so. I'd certainly remember if we had." Her words came out smoothly, but inside she was crumbling. Of course, I remember you, Jake. How could I not? You're the man who lied. The man who changed the course of her life with just one lie. Jake tilted his head, unconvinced. The denial in her voice didn't match the flicker in her eyes, or the way her hands gripped the edge of the chair just a little too tightly. She recognized him, too but was obviously lying to him. He nodded, deciding not to press further. Not yet. "Strange," he murmured, leaning back in his chair, a faint smile ghosting his lips. "I could've sworn you looked familiar." Bella kept her eyes lowered, pretending to be busy with the folder he slid across the desk. Jake let the silence stretch, his gaze never leaving her. Inside, his thoughts churned. She was lying — he was sure of it. That mole, those eyes, that voice… There was no mistaking her. She could hide behind her polished clothes and calm tone, but he knew. She was the one who had refused his help and had wanted to pay for whatever money he gave her. And if she thought she could walk into his world again and pretend otherwise, she was wrong.
