Valentina Romano has been a fool. Recklessly naive. A miserably slow learner. A fool. How could she have possibly forgotten that the Cosa Nostra destroys all hopes of happily ever after? It took one night-- one fateful night for the final remnants of Val's hope to vanquish, snuffed out like the life from her hitman's eyes. Yet, without a heart left to break, Val has forged herself into a formidable piece in the underworld's twisted game for power. She's spent the last two months unraveling the secrets that Matteo left in his wake, searching for crucial evidence that the final bullet truly met its mark, and weaving a trap to ensnare her wicked fiancé once and for all. And yet, on the night of her wedding, a new player steps into the ring with a bang, intent on transforming the Cosa Nostra and the criminal battleground it controls. But the road to change is a bloody one, and only Val can unite the tattered remains of the famiglia she once loved.
