Juliet He tormented me for years. Roman Kazamir -the cruel, controlling heir to a notorious mafia family-made my life a nightmare in Essex, Illinois. While he thrived off power and fear, I endured his abuse in silence. Rumors swirled about his ties to the mob, but no one knew how deep the darkness ran. Now, I'm leaving it all behind. College in Chicago is my chance to start fresh, far away from him. Or so I thought. Roman They call it the Mafia Academy. Graduation isn't a ceremony-it's a blood rite. My father is preparing me to take over Chicago, and that means becoming a weapon, a leader, a killer. But when I see her dancing in my club, everything shifts. Juliet Beck. In my city. In my space.
