Isabella Romano is the perfect mafia princess of Naples — beautiful, controlled, and raised to obey. But she has never been allowed to live her own life. Every choice has always belonged to her father… including the one he makes on the night of her 23rd birthday — betrothing her to Damiano Bianchi, the Don of Rome. A union built on power. Not love. And a future she never agreed to. Done with being a pawn in other men’s wars, Isabella runs away on her wedding day. And straight into the hands of a man who was never supposed to exist. Matteo Costa. Matteo Costa, the feared Don of Milan, returns after twelve years searching for answers about the m******e that destroyed his family. Cold, ruthless, and carrying secrets buried deep within Naples’ most powerful bloodlines, he should be her enemy. Instead, he becomes the one person who pulls her into the truth. As Isabella is dragged into Matteo’s world, she begins to uncover a conspiracy that ties her family, her betrothal, and the darkest parts of Naples together — and nothing about her life is what it seemed. Not her father. Not her future. And not the man she was promised to. Because in Naples, every truth has a cost. And every escape leads her deeper into danger.
