She was born to wear the crown-until it was ripped from her hands. Born into power, stolen into silence-Viviana Alessandro Romano was the crown jewel of Italy's most feared mafia dynasty. Seventeen years later, the lost princess returns-haunted, scarred, and carrying secrets no one is ready to face. And when bloodlines clash, loyalties shatter, and forbidden love ignites... Even a girl made of fire can burn.

When Piper leaves the city to take over her grandmother's beloved bakery, she's expecting early mornings, flour-dusted hands, and a chance to rebuild something meaningful. What she doesn't expect is Flynn- the charming, steady regular who quickly becomes the best part of her day, and then her life. For a while, it's easy. Effortless. Real. Until Harriett comes back. Flynn's childhood best friend crashes back into town, and within seventy two hours, everything Piper thought she knew begins to unravel. Boundaries blur, truths twist, and one moment overheard is enough to shatter the fragile trust Piper had been building. Walking away should be simple. Necessary, even. But Flynn isn't ready to let her go. Not when he finally understands what he's about to lose. Determined to make things right, Flynn is forced to confront the loyalty he's clung to for years, and the damage it's caused. Because winning Piper back won't take words. It will take tearing down everything he thought mattered and proving, step by painful step, that she comes first. In a story about love, loyalty, and the courage to choose differently, Piper must decide if broken trust can ever be rebuilt, or if some betrayals leave behind nothing but bitter truths.
