I Forgot the Pain in His Arms

Lilith Miller thought she knew what rock bottom looked like.

Raised in the Vanderbilt mansion as the driver's daughter, she fell for the heir — only to discover she was nothing but a bet. Forced into a loveless marriage, abandoned by the man who should have stood beside her, Lilith endured years of silence and betrayal. Then came the blow that nearly ended her: the death of her three-year-old daughter, Victória, while her husband couldn't be bothered to answer his phone.

Shattered but still breathing, Lilith fled to Milan with nothing but a suitcase and a stuffed blue rabbit — the last piece of her little girl.

She expected to disappear. She didn't expect Alessandro Morelli Conti.

CEO of a billion-dollar empire by day, Don of the Cosa Nostra by blood — Alessandro is everything Lilith swore she'd never want again: powerful, possessive, and dangerously magnetic. But beneath the tailored suits and cold authority lies a man who has never let anyone close. Until her.

As Lilith rebuilds her life in Alessandro's world, she uncovers truths far bigger than a second chance at love. A twin sister she never knew she had. A biological mother who gave up everything to keep her alive. And a bloodline that makes her the rightful heir to the Russian Bratva — putting a target on her back.

Viktor Volkov will stop at nothing to eliminate the women who threaten his stolen empire. But Lilith is no longer the girl who cried behind closed doors. With Alessandro's love as her anchor and her newfound family at her side, she'll fight for the life she was always meant to have.

Even if it means going to war.
