Shadow Author

Roman Kael was a broken man — drunk, bankrupt, abandoned by the woman he loved while she carried his daughter in her womb. Four years later, he is the leader of the Night Clan, a mafia empire built with blood and money. The Shadow System made him powerful, but it couldn't heal the wound Lara left behind. When Roman buys the debt of Lara's husband's company, he makes a deal: three dinners a week, cooked by her, in his penthouse. In exchange, Rafael won't be destroyed. But Lara is no longer the same woman who ran away. And Roman will discover that power isn't the only thing he wants to conquer. Between blackmail, desire, and the secret of the daughter he never knew he had, Roman must choose: destroy those who betrayed him, or win back the one he never forgot.
