Empire of Her Making is a glitter-noir, mafia romance set in modern New York, following Apollonia "Nia" Vittorini - the "Madonna" and reigning head of one of the city's most powerful crime syndicates. For ten years, Nia has carried the weight of inheritance without flinching. She knows which alliances to nurture, which enemies to starve, and how to keep her empire steady with nothing more than a look. Control is survival. Control is safety. Then Marco Cappello walks into her world. He is charming, perceptive, and far too comfortable in rooms built on secrets. With him, Nia feels something she has spent a decade denying herself: the dangerous pull of being seen, not as the Madonna, not as the heir - but as a woman. What she doesn't know is that Marco is Giovanni Sigliano, the disgraced son of a rival dynasty, hiding from the brother who tried to kill him. As old rivalries stir and power begins to shift, Nia must decide how much of herself she can afford to give - when every vulnerability is leverage, and love may be the one risk she was never trained to take.

A child should not have to carry the weight of a war they did not start. * "I am not my father." "Well being his legacy means you have to pay his debts." * Francesca-I'm the boss of the Camorra my family never owned and I never wanted. Eighteen years ago, my father killed the Mancini's-reigning boss and his wife. Five years ago, my parents died, leaving the "family business" to my brother who was seven at the time. I lead and was to do so until he turned 18. I have spent every day since trying to keep the wolves from tearing him apart while secretly planning our escape. I don't want power. I don't want territory. I don't want the mansion, the soldiers, the fear. I want out. And for a moment, I thought fate had handed me my freedom. The Mancini children came back for their throne. I was ready to give it to them. Gladly. Gratefully. I would have handed Nicandro Mancini the keys, the accounts, the loyalty oaths-everything. But there's one problem. Nicandro doesn't want just the throne. He wants me to stay. Now I'm trapped inside a stolen mansion I never asked for, with a man who looks at me like I personally pulled the trigger eighteen years ago. I didn't start this war. But I am paying for it. Nicandro-Eighteen years ago, the Espositos destroyed my life. They killed my parents in our own home. Turned our name into a cautionary tale. Sent my sister and me back to Italy like unwanted baggage while they claimed what was ours. Eighteen years is a long time to plan revenge. A long time to learn patience. To build allies. To wait. When I found out Giuseppe Esposito was already dead, it felt like the universe had cheated me. But debts do not disappear just because the debtor does. So I returned to New York. I took back the mansion. The territory. The loyalty. And if I cannot make the man who pulled the trigger suffer... Then I will make his bloodline pay.
