'Something I have always wanted, since being a little girl, is power…'

I don’t just want a seat at the table; I want to rule the whole damn room. As the owner of a

successful New York strip club, I’ve built an empire of my own, but it’s not enough. I want

real power, real respect—the kind that makes this city tremble. And the quickest, most

intoxicating route to the top, is Leo Morello.

Rich, gorgeous, and the lethal leader of the New York Mafia—he’s the perfect solution. Marrying him

would make me one of the most powerful women in the city, but it’s not just about the crown.

There’s a desire within me to own him, to see how far I can push him until he breaks.

'She would be the start of my undoing…'

She thinks she’s won because she survived the first round, but she doesn’t understand Leo

like I do. He’s my brother, and I know he’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants. I know the

darkness that lives inside him because it lives inside me, too, and I can’t bear to see her get

hurt. Not by him.

Natalie occupies every single one of my thoughts. It’s an all-consuming obsession that I

can’t shake free. I will watch her, I will protect her, and I will make her see the truth before

Leo destroys her. I will make her realise she shouldn’t be his—she should be mine.
