For three years, Christina Valenti—the feared Godmother of Europe's most powerful crime family—has lived a double life as a broke antique restorer, dating Arthur Howard, heir to a billionaire dynasty. When she finally reveals her true identity, Arthur doesn't flinch. He vows to stand by her, no matter the cost.
But their engagement party turns into a nightmare. Arthur's family humiliates Christina in front of Rome's elite—pouring boiling soup on her face, crushing her mother's heirloom pearl necklace, and threatening to cut out her tongue. Until Arthur arrives with the Valenti family army, and the tables turn.
Now, with her identity exposed and her enemies wounded but not destroyed, Christina must navigate a web of family betrayal, Russian mafia conspiracies, and a love that demands absolute loyalty. In a world where power is written in blood, only one queen can wear the crown.
