"She was far from an angel."
Ilaria D'Angeli has never had a normal life. Kidnapped by her father mere months after her birth, she has no idea that she's secretly the lost princess of the Italian mafia. After a series of unfortunate events, she became involved with the Russians at a young age and rose quickly in the ranks due to her incredible intelligence and intuition. She became a daughter and advisor to the don Viktor Koslov while also leading a powerful mafia of her own, known to the underworld as The Bloodless.
Ilaria stayed in the Koslov estate for years while Viktor held the truth about her family from her, telling her that it was for 'another time'. But when her father dies unexpectedly, she finally learns the truth about her family. Meanwhile, her older brothers are ecstatic to know their little sister has returned - but Ilaria has secrets upon secrets that eventually are bound to catch up with her.

How will news affect her when her previous knowledge of having no family gets crushed when the words "your biological father has agreed to take you in" get told to her. #1 longlostsister ~Just a reminder for everyone that some things in my book will be a little unrealistic but if you've read other books similar to mine they will also have unrealistic parts too. Alessia and Ares grew up quicker and learnt the realities of the world earlier than someone would normally but it also says in certain parts that she's a genius which if you read about it you'd understand it's not all that surprising~
