Lilia Vivaldi grew up in the Boston Outfit, daughter of the Capo himself. But power never protected her-it caged her. Her father was brutal, her brothers too, and the one thing they all agreed on was that a woman would never belong in the life.
They tried to keep her quiet. She rebelled. They tried to make her small. She learned how to make herself dangerous.
For years, Lilia played the role-reckless party girl, mafia princess embarrassment-while secretly collecting every weapon she'd need to destroy the men who raised her. Then she did the unthinkable: she turned herself over to her father's greatest enemy, the New York Cosa Nostra.
Her plan was ruthless: marry Rafael De Luca, the cold, calculated Capo of New York. Convince him to name her his consigliere. And together, take down her father-and claim the Boston Outfit as Cosa Nostra territory.
What she didn't plan on? Becoming Regina della mafia-Queen of the mafia. She'd aimed for consigliere, but the made men of New York start looking at her with the same respect they give their Capo.
And she definitely didn't expect to fall for him.
Rafael is sharp suits and sharper instincts. Dangerous, possessive, and utterly unforgiving. Their alliance was meant to be about strategy-but the pull between them is anything but.
She came to dismantle a kingdom.
She didn't expect to crave the man who'd help her do it-
or to wear the crown beside him.
