The Mafia Queen's Unwanted Inheritance

“Arabella Hayes never wanted to be part of the mafia. She wanted an ordinary life, far away from the bloodstained legacy of her family. But when her estranged father dies, she inherits something far more dangerous than money. An empire. A criminal empire built on blood, betrayal and decades of fear. Suddenly, men who once ignored her are bowing at her feet, while others are sharpening their knives, waiting for an opportunity to take everything from her. Arabella has inherited her father's fortune, his enemies and a throne that could get her killed. Her biggest problem, however, is Alessio Vescari. Ruthless, calculating and dangerously powerful, Alessio is the last man she should trust. His family shares a dark history with hers, and his interest in her inheritance is anything but innocent. When he offers her a deal that could protect her position, Arabella finds herself caught between a man she should hate and an empire she doesn't know how to control. But she soon discovers that becoming a mafia queen requires more than wearing a crown. It means making enemies, sacrificing loyalties and sometimes becoming the very monster everyone fears. Alessio thinks he can control her. Her enemies think they can destroy her. And Arabella is about to show them that the most dangerous thing her father ever left behind wasn't his empire. It was his daughter.”
