Serafina Caruso is the most coveted woman in the crime world. She smells sweet like limoncello and looks like sin. And soon, she’ll be mine. She just doesn’t know it yet. Unbeknownst to anyone, I signed a contract with Ignazio Caruso, the Capo di tutti capi—the most powerful man in La Cosa Nostra, two years ago. In this agreement, I am to take over the Caruso empire upon his death. In exchange, I must protect the thing he loves most—his only child. Serafina. I’ve kept our secret from everyone, including my future wife. There’s too much at stake and the truth would put us all in danger. But now that Ignazio’s health is failing, trouble is already around every corner. Other famiglie, the Cartel, Bratva, Irish Mob—even those closest to Ignazio are jockeying for a chance to take over the Caruso family by marrying the sole heir. It’s time to take what’s mine. It all belongs to me. Bound by blood, now and forever. Even in death.
