DIAVALO

Everyone knows the name Alessia Mancini.

They just don't talk about her.

She's the daughter of a powerful underboss in the Italian mafia... but not the one he shows off. Not the golden girl in the expensive dresses. Not the one the family takes pictures with.

She's the other daughter.

The secret one. The mistake. The girl born from an affair no one's supposed to remember.

Raised in the shadows of a cold mansion, with a stepmother who can't stand the sight of her and a stepsister who gets everything she never will, Alessia's learned to stay quiet. Invisible. Unbothered. But not broken.

Then Nicholas D'Angelo shows up.

He's the son of a Capo - powerful, dangerous, and already promised to marry Alessia's perfect stepsister. Everyone knows the alliance will change everything.

But Nicholas doesn't look at the one he's supposed to.

He looks at her.

The unwanted girl.

The quiet one in the corner.

And when his cold, unreadable stare finds hers... Alessia knows everything is about to go wrong.

Because Nicholas D'Angelo doesn't care about rules.
And he doesn't care about names, or promises, or anyone's idea of "right."
He wants her.

And once he's chosen, there's no going back.
