Ferraro | book 1
~THIS IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A REWRITE (i wrote it ages ago and no longer like it lmao) ~
Seventeen years ago, Lilith Quinn escaped New York with her mother and brother after her father's death tied their family to one of the city's most dangerous criminal organisations.
Now twenty-five, armed with a master's degree in financial mathematics and a life she built for herself in Los Angeles, Lilith is pulled back into the world her mother ran from when the Ferraro family finally come to collect on an old debt.
Forced into the heart of New York's mob elite, Lilith finds herself trapped inside the Ferraros' sprawling estate under the watchful eye of Antonio Ferraro quiet, controlled, and dangerously loyal to his family.
But in a world built on loyalty and power, survival often means playing a role. As whispers begin to spread and enemies circle closer, a fake engagement between Lilith and Antonio becomes the only thing keeping her family safe. What begins as strategy soon blurs into something far more complicated as Lilith is drawn deeper into the Ferraro empire and closer to the man she was supposed to fear.
In New York, debts are inherited and the Ferraros always collect.
