La Cosa Nostra (Book III of the Stepbrother)
The Coopers have it all: wealth, power, and a bond forged in loyalty. Haden Cooper, the cold and calculating head of their mafia empire, has built a dynasty that spans restaurants, casinos, hotels, and car dealerships. His wife, Joella, once the sweet and nurturing counterpart, has transformed. No longer the innocent woman she once was, Joella now commands respect as the Don's wife, her fierceness cutting through any pretense. She is as deadly as she is loving-fiercely protective of her family and unafraid to show the world the strength that lies beneath her warm exterior.
Together, Haden and Joella have raised eight extraordinary children, each brilliant in their own way, each a vital piece of the Cooper legacy.
But beneath the surface of their seemingly unshakable empire, danger lurks. A devastating betrayal from within shatters their world, threatening to rip the family apart and destabilize everything they've built. Lies and deception weave a web of chaos, leaving the Coopers questioning not just their allies but also one another.
As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, the Coopers are forced to confront the cost of their power. Trust is a rare commodity, and loyalty comes at a price. With enemies circling and the family on the brink of collapse, Haden and Joella must rally their children to uncover the truth and strike back-before the betrayal consumes them all.
In a world where love and vengeance walk hand in hand, will the Coopers prove unbreakable, or will this be the moment their empire falls?
