Single Mother

Blurb Humble and wild power is inherited. Survival is earned. Love? That’s just collateral damage. In a world where dominance is defined by bloodlines and digital warfare, four criminal empires reign supreme—each ruthless, unchallenged, and bound by a single code: protect the legacy at all costs. From the frozen alleys of St. Petersburg to the scorched sands of the Nevada Desert, from the opulent vineyards of Tuscany to the blood-soaked hills of Sinaloa, four underworld kings stand on the brink of war. Mikhail Volkov—the Russian ghost who commands an empire built on intelligence and silence. Antonio Moretti—the Italian strategist whose charm masks a heart of steel. Carlos Hernandez—the cartel lord with a code of fire and loyalty. Jack Sullivan—the American tactician who turns chaos into profit. Each has a daughter—brilliant, defiant, and bred for battle in a world that sees them as bargaining chips. Forced into strategic marriages meant to secure alliances, these women become more than pawns—they become the spark that threatens to ignite a global mafia war. As secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and hidden enemies rise, these kings will face their greatest threats—not from rivals, but from within their own blood. Can an empire built on control withstand daughters raised to be wild? 200000 words. 167 chapters of raw emotion, deadly twists, forbidden romance, and high-stakes betrayal await in Humble and Wild. In the shadows of power, even the humblest heart can change the world—or burn it down.
