Araceli Reyes has spent her life in the shadows, learning the rules of power in a world where the strong survive and the weak are forgotten. Born to a brothel host and a feared enforcer, she has inherited both beauty and cunning-tools she plans to use to escape the role of a mere maid to the ruthless mafia king, Rafael DeLuca.
But Araceli doesn't just want to escape. She wants to take over.
With secrets hidden behind her hazel eyes and a plan carefully unfolding, she manipulates those around her, including two powerful men..Liam, the smooth-talking strategist, and Daniel, the brutal enforcer. Both are drawn to her, both dangerous in their own ways, but neither truly sees the queen rising in their midst.
As deception, ambition, and betrayal collide, Araceli must navigate a deadly game where trust is a luxury she can't afford. Because in a world ruled by men who underestimate her, she has one goal: to burn their empire to the ground and build her own from the ashes.
The question is-who will she have to destroy to claim her throne?
