QUEEN OF VERONA

Alessandra Cruz is the queen of Verona Heights-a fierce, high-powered lawyer who crushes her enemies in the boardroom by day. But beneath the polished surface, she's hiding a dark, dangerous secret. Alessandra runs the city's most feared criminal syndicate, controlling everything from the shadows. No one knows the truth... until he returns.

Detective Marcus Hale is back in Verona Heights with one goal-taking down the criminal mastermind behind the city's recent wave of chaos. But he has no idea that the woman he's hunting is the same woman who shattered his heart years ago-the woman he's never been able to forget.

When their paths collide at an extravagant charity gala, sparks fly, and old passions ignite. Marcus is determined to find out why Alessandra disappeared from his life without a trace. What he doesn't know is that the closer he gets to her, the more he's being pulled into a deadly game of power, deceit, and desire.

As rivals close in and her empire starts to crumble, Alessandra will have to make a choice: fight to protect her secrets and her criminal reign, or risk it all for the man who could destroy her.

Love was never part of the plan, but in a world full of danger, passion may be her ultimate downfall.
