Shadow Crown of the Lost Queen

For five years, Elena Moretti buried her ruthless past to honor her mother’s dying wish. Her unfaithful husband and his arrogant mistress mistake her restraint for weakness—until they threaten the people she loves. Now, the woman New York’s underworld once called “Bloody Elena” is taking back everything they stole. With her fiercely loyal protector, Hawk, at her side, Elena dismantles financial empires, exposes a deadly family conspiracy, and confronts a cartel kingpin who believes he can possess her. But beyond revenge lies her greatest challenge: choosing between the power she inherited and the freedom—and love—she truly deserves.
