Juliette’s father said, “You owe your life to the mafia”. These words were cold words, just like the gun he carried. These words were meant to chain a young woman to her future, but it was a future belonging to Kaiden Bianco.
Kaiden was the young, powerful mafia heir who would inherit an empire built on blood. He decided that Juliette belonged to him. He would corner her in hallways, putting his hands all over her body.
Juliette thought she had managed to escape that life. A young woman ran and tried to outrun all the blood and pain, but the night she dragged a bleeding stranger into her apartment, everything changed. By saving his life, she ruined hers.
Now Kaiden is back, and he is holding all the cards. He has her freedom in his hands, and he is demanding her loyalty in return for my freedom.
How do you fight someone who knows exactly how to make you lust for freedom and him?

Heal My Wounds, Babygirl synopsis
"You owe your life to the mafia.
My father's words, cold as the gun he carried, still haunted me. He'd meant them as a chain, binding me to a fate I never chose.
To Kaiden.
Just thinking his name made my skin crawl. Kaiden Bianco – the young mafia boss who'd inherited an empire built on blood and pain. Who'd decided that I belonged to him. His "favorite," he'd called me, cornering me in empty hallways with wandering hands and whispered threats wrapped in promises.
One day, bella, you'll understand what I can give you.
What he really meant was what he could take."
They say running from your past is impossible. I thought I’d proved them wrong—until the night I dragged a bleeding stranger into my apartment and stitched him back together. Turns out, saving him was probably the worst mistake of my life.
Now, I’m trapped under the thumb of a ruthless, infuriatingly smug mafia boss with secrets as dark as his soul. He’s demanding my loyalty, dangling my future in one hand and my freedom in the other.
I’ve escaped once. I’ve survived worse.
But how do you fight someone who knows exactly how to make you burn for both freedom… and him?
Read Heal My Wounds, Babygirl – Chapter 1
[POV Juliette]
The kitchen of Mario's Bistro always smelled like stale grease and broken dreams. As I hung up my apron for the night, my manager's words still rang in my ears: "You've got potential, kid. Shame to waste it in this dump."
If only he knew.
Three years ago, I had different plans. Different name. Different life. But surviving meant leaving it all behind – including the parts of myself I'd rather forget.
The night air hit my face as I stepped out, carrying the lingering scent of fried onions and cheap wine. My feet knew the path home by heart: past the flickering streetlight, down the cracked sidewalk, to my basement apartment in the worst part of town. Each step echoed with memories I couldn't quite outrun.
You owe your life to the mafia.
My father's words, cold as the gun he carried, still haunted me. He'd meant them as a chain, binding me to a fate I never chose.
To Kaiden.
Just thinking his name made my skin crawl. Kaiden Bianco – the young mafia boss who'd inherited an empire built on blood and pain. Who'd decided that I belonged to him.

One day, bella, you'll understand what I can give you.
What he really meant was what he could take.
I shivered, pulling my thin jacket tighter. The medical textbooks in my backpack weighed heavy on my shoulders – a different kind of burden, but one I'd chosen.
