Four mafia families who rule the underworld. A power struggle that leads to war. And a forbidden love that might set it all ablaze. Damon Valachi. That was the name on my mother’s dying lips. That one word would spark a war. A war that I planned on winning. I would go to the Valachi famiglia, and integrate myself into their world. I would learn their weaknesses and their secrets, and I would find out who was responsible for my mother’s execution. Then I met Lorenzo Valachi’s daughter, Lulu. She’s a queen in the making: strong, beautiful, and full of compassion. She’s also an innocent… and the only thing standing in my way. Lulu lights a fire in me that threatens to burn hotter than my desire for revenge. I can’t have her, though–not if I want to avenge my mother. So, I change my plans, just a little. I’ll have my vengeance, and Lulu, too. Lulu I’m trapped in a golden cage and men hold the key to my freedom. My father controls his world with an iron fist. When he makes Damon, a made man, his right hand, a light is lit in my darkened world. He makes me feel things I never thought would be possible. The closer we get, though, the more I crave. Until one day, he cuts me off and leaves me in the cold. Only this time I refuse to be silenced. This time I refuse to return to that dark cage. Damon hasn’t just brought light into my world, but hope… and hope can be a very dangerous thing.
