Los Angeles, 1950. Sophia Castellano arrives from Italy with nothing but a bloodstained scarf and curves that stop hearts. She's determined to build a big new life sewing gowns for starlets but Hollywood devours girls like her.
Jonathan Sterling, the ruthless young studio mogul, wants to claim her body and her brilliant mind. His whispered promises of empires and European conquests ignite something dark and hungry in her soul.
Marco Benedetti, the hunky kind-eyed Italian deli owner, wants to save her with his warm hands, tender words, and a love as rich as his mother's pasta. But safety feels like a prison when you've tasted the sharp edge of power.
Meanwhile, Sophia's glamorous boss Elena-Hollywood's most dangerous couturière-is spinning a web of espionage that could pull Sophia under forever. And someone from her Sicilian past is already hunting her through L.A.'s neon streets, determined to bury her.
π Torn between a man who makes her feel alive and a man who makes her feel safe, Sophia must decide: will she be a pawn in someone else's game, or the queen of her own dark empire?
