ANNAPOLIS, Md. - s4story -- Bestselling author Parker Stone is thrilled to announce the release of her newest dark romance novel, The Reluctant Heir, available today, October 15, 2025, on Amazon and as a read-for-free title on Kindle Unlimited.

The Reluctant Heir plunges readers into the high-stakes, volatile world of the Mascotti family, where a fragile peace is shattered, and love is a dangerous, possessive weapon. The story follows Antoinette "Nette," a woman who fought for years to build an honest life as a nurse, breaking free from the suffocating influence of her father's criminal empire.

Her world is violently pulled back into the shadows when her father is shot , and her childhood protector, Manuel "Manny" Valte, steps up to take the throne. Manuel has been forged into a cold, ruthless man in the years Nette was away, a man who knows only one way to keep her safe: by claiming her as his own. He makes it clear that she is no longer a little sister to be watched over, but the Queen to his King, an integral piece in his new and dangerous world. Manuel has loved Nette since he's known her, and now he is done keeping his distance.
