A Christmas of Secrets: Love, Lies and Redemption in the Storm.
Adventure Lacey Roy had been planning the perfect Christmas for her twins, Benjamin and Benita, for months. As a single mother, she wanted to make sure they felt special and loved, despite not having a father figure in their lives. She had spent all her savings on a luxurious hotel stay, complete with a decorated tree, stockings, and a special Christmas dinner.
But as she was checking into the hotel, Lacey's world was turned upside down. Ryan, the father of her twins, walked into the lobby, looking as handsome and charming as ever. They had a one-night stand a few years ago, and Lacey had never expected to see him again. She had kept his identity a secret from the twins, and she had hoped to keep it that way.
Lacey's legs felt like jelly as Ryan walked past her, but she tried to remain calm. She didn't want to draw attention to herself, and she certainly didn't want Ryan to notice her. But as she watched him walk away, she couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction. She had thought she was over him, but it seemed her body had other plans.
Just as Lacey was trying to compose herself, Ryan stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes scanned the lobby, and then they landed on the twins. Lacey watched in horror as Ryan's eyes widened in recognition, and he took a step closer to them.
Benjamin and Benita were oblivious to the tension, too busy exploring the hotel lobby to notice their father staring at them. But Lacey knew she had to act fast. She couldn't let Ryan disrupt her carefully planned Christmas, and she couldn't let him get too close to the twins.
As Ryan approached them, Lacey pasted a smile on her face and pretended she didn't recognize him. "Hi," she said brightly. "Merry Christmas."
Ryan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at her like he knew she was hiding something. But he played along, smiling back at her. "Merry Christmas," he said. "I'm Ryan."
Lacey's heart skipped a beat as she shook his hand. She felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, and she knew she was in trouble. She couldn't let Ryan get too close, or she risked losing control.
As they stood there, awkwardly smiling at each other, Lacey knew she had to make a decision. She could abandon her Christmas plans and flee, or she could face Ryan head-on and see what happened.
But as she looked into his eyes, she knew she couldn't resist him. She felt the same spark of attraction she had felt all those years ago, and she knew she was in trouble.
This Christmas was going to be a lot more complicated than Lacey had anticipated. You might like

His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
