Stolen by the Mafia

Victoria Stone had perfected the art of invisibility. As a maid at the Blackwood Mansion's grand parties, she was nothing but a shadow in a black dress and white apron, observing as society's elite draped themselves in fortunes.

Her target: the annual Midnight Masquerade Ball. Every wealthy family on the East Coast would be there, their jewels sparkling like stars under the crystal chandeliers. Victoria had mapped every corridor, noted every security detail, and memorized the dance patterns of the wealthy patrons who never looked twice at the help.

What she hadn't planned for was the Rossetti crime family's interest in the same event. As she slipped the last diamond necklace into her cleverly designed dress pockets, a strong hand gripped her wrist. Instead of the police she'd feared, she found herself face-to-face with the infamous Leonardo Rossetti - young, dangerous, and intrigued.

"Impressive work," he whispered, leading her into a waltz to avoid suspicion. "But you're dancing in my territory now, little thief."

That night, Victoria disappeared from the mansion - not with handcuffs as she'd feared, but in a black car headed to meet the real power behind New York's underworld. The head of the Rossetti family had a proposition: work for them, or... well, the alternative wasn't discussed in polite company.

Now Victoria had to decide: remain a solo artist or join the dangerous dance of organized crime. Either way, she knew her life would never be the same after that fateful night at Blackwood Mansion.
