The Don's Reluctant Carrier - An MM Mpreg Shifter Mafia Romance of Forbidden Love and Surprise Pregnancy #978620

He took the contract to keep his mother alive. Don Cesario Galante is the Alpha of the Amalfi coast — patient, precise, and the last man Lior Vadalà should have let past the archive door. But what has been building in four careful weeks of professional distance is no longer something either of them can call work.

Lior Vadalà sorted his mother's medical bills into three piles on a Tuesday in late February and knew, by the weight of the cream-linen envelope on the kitchen table, that something in his life was about to cost more than the bills. A university lecturer and freelance paleographer in Bologna, twenty-seven years old, with eleven years of chancery script reading and six of keeping Alphas at a distance, he understands exactly what the letter is before he opens it. He understands what signing it means. He signs it anyway because the Galante fee is the only number that covers the gap between the care his mother is getting and the care she needs.

Don Cesario Galante is the Alpha of a private library on the Amalfi coast and the most controlled man Lior has sat across a document table from in his professional life. His estate holds a suppressed fifteenth-century authentication dispute, a rival line with legal appetite, and a household code that has kept the Don at a careful distance for four weeks of twice-weekly dinners and deliberately ordinary conversation. The Don knows. He has known since the first evening. He keeps the distance because Lior asked, in the first hour, to be a scholar in this house and nothing more.
The wave breaks on a Sunday morning.

He's carrying the Don's child by the time the archive work is done. The rival house has found the document. The Don has made a decision.

Some bonds build slowly, over meals and manuscript pages, until the morning they become impossible to deny.

Perfect for fans of Keira Andrews, Aria Grace, and Lorelei M. Hart.

The Don's Reluctant Carrier is a full-length standalone MM Mpreg Shifter Mafia Romance with HEA and no cliffhanger. Contains mature content, steam, and a slow-burn bond that breaks open with the patience of a man who has been waiting to be asked.
