The Queen Chose Her King

Alessandra DeLuca has spent her entire life being useful to powerful men.

As the eldest daughter of one of New York's most feared mafia bosses, she learned young how to keep her mouth sharp, her gun loaded, and her little sister safe.

But when a bloody war between two rival families threatens to tear the city apart, her father decides Sasha can be useful one more time.

She'll marry Dante Moretti.

Cold, ruthless, and dangerously powerful, Dante is everything Sasha has been taught to hate. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than a contract-a way to bind two families together and stop the bloodshed.

There are just a few problems.

Sasha doesn't take orders.

Dante doesn't like being challenged.

And neither of them expected to actually like being married to the enemy.

Somewhere between loaded guns, ruined shirts, jealous arguments, stolen kisses, and a tiny black kitten neither of them asked for, the lines between obligation and choice begin to blur.

Dante Moretti may be the King of New York.

But Sasha DeLuca was never meant to stand quietly beside a throne.

She was meant to build her own.

And before this story is over, Dante will learn that loving a queen isn't about possessing her.

It's about becoming the man she would choose when she's finally free to walk away.
