For seventeen years, she lived a lie. Olivia Rosa Jackson has only known pain-raised in a cruel foster system, passed from house to house, bruised by hands meant to protect her, and tormented by classmates who saw her as nothing. With no family, no past, and no future, Olivia learned to survive in silence. But deep inside, she always felt different. Fierce. Untamed. Like something ancient was sleeping inside her. Then a stranger appears-a man with storm in his eyes and power in his voice-calling her by a name she's never heard: Chiara Sofia Russo. She is not Olivia. She is the only daughter of leonardo Russo, head of the most feared mafia dynasty in Europe. The Russo family hadn't seen a girl born in generations. Her birth was a miracle. Her disappearance was a tragedy. And her return is about to change everything. As Chiara is pulled into a legacy soaked in blood, loyalty, and danger, she must decide who she really is: the broken girl they tried to destroy, or the mafia princess destined to reign. But power comes with a price-and someone still wants her silenced for good. She was lost for years. But now, the lost princess has come home-and the underworld will never be the same.
