Names Buried in Gold

Chase Aria Moore has spent years building a quiet life in Miami.

A business marketing and psychology graduate, private chef, single mother, and Southern belle with a dangerous past, Chase has done everything she can to keep her son, Tristan Amir Moore, safe. To the world, they look like a stylish mother-son duo living comfortably in an upscale neighborhood. To anyone trained to look closer, they move like survivors.

But when Park Jimin, a twenty-nine-year-old mob boss in waiting, arrives in Miami under orders from his father to expand the family business and make their empire look legitimate, Chase's carefully buried instincts wake back up.

New men on the block. Black cars. Silent surveillance. Too many secrets dressed in expensive clothes.

Threat level: blue.

What begins as suspicion turns into a dangerous slow-burn when Chase and Jimin are pulled into a web of buried bloodlines, forgotten names, stolen children, and family debts that were never truly paid.

Chase is not just a woman hiding from her past.

She is the daughter of Luca Marcello's house.

The hidden Lily of the Marcello family.

Trained from childhood to survive if the men failed.

And Tristan, the boy she raised as her own, may be tied to a truth far darker than either of them imagined.
