For five generations, the Valentino family has ruled the East Coast. Casinos. Money. Drugs and guns. From the day I was born, my entire life was planned out—including an arranged marriage—by a ruthless father preparing to pass down the torch.

But I, Alessia Francesca Valentino, will no longer bow to any man—not my former fiance and not my father.

Until my twin brother is murdered in cold blood.

Now I’m forced to take his place, in a role I never wanted. What’s worse is when I arrive home, deeming finding my brother’s murderer my top priority, I have a head-on collision with three ghosts from my past:

My first love and ex-fiance, Dante. My childhood best friend and ‘family’ doctor, Nico and his brother and my old nemesis, Kai. And then an unexpected fourth who seems a little more interested in his boss than he should be.

But a female Mafia boss?
Yeah. If anyone can pull this off, it’s me.

Both our allies and our enemies have always underestimated me. But what they don’t realize is that I will kill as many people as it takes to get my revenge. Because they’re dealing with Sia Valentino now, and I possess one fundamental advantage no man will…

They’ll never see me coming.
