Sinner's Bay

I may be on the straight and narrow now, but my past self was anything but the picture-perfect good girl. When I am left with no choice but to return to my bad ways to help pull the family out of debt, I do it in style. Little did I know I would end up committing myself and my best friend to the devil himself—Dante Mendez—and his brother to pay back the debt, and in the process, I would end up falling into a world that isn't what it seems.

All I wanted was to live a peaceful life... but being the daughter of the Italian Mafia made that a difficult dream to obtain. My father's death left a hole of power behind, and my brother pushed me out, cutting me off from everything I had. To protect my son and those I love, I have to choose between claiming the throne that is owed to me or running away and never returning. I was never someone to back down from a challenge, so with the help of the other families, I take a stand to reclaim what is mine, but I underestimated the men who will stop at nothing to see me fall.

I thought I had escaped the demons of my past. For ten years, I lived a life of relative peace, got an education and a great job, and worked on healing myself, all while hiding right under the nose of the very people I had run from. Life was good. But then the head of the Bratva turned himself in and would only speak to me. My life began to unravel as people from my past returned, those I thought I could trust betrayed me, and men I should run from became my biggest temptation yet.
