Eighteen years ago, Zara LaRosa and Dante Salvatori used to play together as often as their parents allowed them to. One night, everyone in the LaRosa family home was killed, except little Zara who managed to escape with the head of her father's security.

She was taken to a safe house near Venice, an underground complex where she spent the last 18 years preparing for the moment when she will get revenge for her family's death and destroy the Salvatori family who were the culprits of the tragedy.

But Bonifacio Salvatori, the man who ordered her parent's execution is now dead, and his son Dante has become Don and taken over the mafia.

Zara resurfaces and starts operating from the shadows, killing Bonifacio's people who were involved in her home invasion and who are now loyal to Dante, earning a nickname Regina del Sangue (Queen of Blood) in the process.

Her true identity is unknown to everyone except for her team from the underground and she intends to keep it that way.

Will Zara be able to destroy Dante while hiding her identity from him and before he manages to kill her for taking out his people?

(PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS MY SOFT BOY) Valentina Anastasia Adamovich is no ordinary woman. The daughter of a feared Russian mafia kingpin, she inherited a legacy soaked in blood. Now, as the first female to ever command an army of ruthless, unpredictable men and women, she is a force to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to be a killing machine, she has the blood of a thousand lives on her hands. But the question remains: Can she carry out her next mission-or will her deadly instincts fail her? Dante Azzaro, the indomitable leader of the Italian mafia, is a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Cold, calculating, and with one of the most powerful syndicates in the world at his disposal, Dante is a ruthless killer. When a striking woman-Valentina herself-suddenly crosses his path, even he is taken aback. But what happens when a deadly collision between them is inevitable? Not even he knows. When the Italian mafia finds itself compromised by a series of stolen shipments, Dante faces an impossible choice: ally with the Russians, or risk everything for revenge. Will he bend, or will he break? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She aims her gun at me in an instant, and the men in the room draw their weapons, all pointing at her. She grabs the file, and turns her back on me, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she heads toward the door. I watch her walk away, her hips swaying like she's too damn comfortable in a place she shouldn't even be. I want to feel anger and irritation, but what I feel instead is something more dangerous something that I'm not ready to name. I've dealt with stubborn people before, but Valentina, she's a different breed. "Valentina," I call, keeping my voice controlled, like I'm not about to lose my mind over the mess I'm in. She doesn't stop. I didn't expect her to. She's too damn proud. MATURE CONTENT 18+
