Queen of Blood and Shadows

My father died.

And with him, the illusion that I would ever have a normal life.

After ten years away from the family business, I return home to bury the most powerful mafia boss in the country—and inherit his throne. Now I'm expected to rule an empire. Command men twice my age. Navigate family politics. As the 1st female boss in our history. And survive long enough to keep a target off my back. Because someone wants me dead.

Unfortunately for them... I've spent the last decade learning how to kill.

Then there's Damian Donati. My father's protégé and like a son to him. A ruthless enforcer wrapped in expensive suits and bad intentions. The kind of man who solves problems with bullets and bodies. The kind of man people fear. The kind of man who watches me a little too closely. The kind of man that makes my insides heat when they shouldn't.

As enemies close in, old betrayals surface, and a ghost from the past begins pulling strings from the shadows, I find myself trapped in a game that started long before I was born. A game written in blood. One that threatens everything my father built. Including me.

In our world, power is taken. Loyalty is earned. And weakness is punished.

But the most dangerous thing in this city isn't the violence. It isn't the secrets. And it certainly isn't the men hunting me.

It's discovering how far a monster is willing to go when he decides something belongs to him.
