Splinter and Stillness

Born into the brutal world of organized crime, she's always known power, protection, and the price of loyalty. As the daughter of a feared mafia boss, her life is tightly controlled-no visitors, no freedom, and no room for mistakes. But when a deal is struck behind closed doors, she becomes the bargaining chip in a deadly game between rival families.

Enter Damien: cunning, ruthless, and the only man who ever made her feel alive. Once a forbidden fling, now her unexpected fate. He used her to rise in the ranks, and now he's back-this time with more power and more secrets. As tension simmers and old wounds resurface, she must decide whether to play along or rewrite the rules of the game.

In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can she survive the life she was born into-or will it destroy her?
