In the heart of Italy's opulent underworld, the name Romano is synonymous with power and fear. Kylie Romano, the youngest and only daughter of the powerful Romano family, has always lived in the shadow of her father's empire.

As Kylie ventures into the unknown, she finds herself navigating a dangerous world where her family's enemies and her own fears threaten to consume her.
In a journey fraught with danger and heartbreak, Kylie must confront the shadows of her past, the dark promises of her future, and the undeniable pull of her own desires. As she battles for her freedom, she will discover that escaping the chains of her past might be the only way to forge a future worth living.
