She's the adopted daughter of Alexei, former Pakhan of the New York Bratva, and Alexandra, former head of the Annihilators. She's a legend in the underworld. One of the most powerful woman. She rescues trafficking victims and dismantles trafficking rings. Her life was going perfect. She finally had loving parents. A doting sister. And all the power she ever yearned for. But, it's always at the pinnacle of glory when the breaking point comes. For Margaery, it was a mistake by her soldiers that lead her right back to those who wronged her. The Cosa Nostra. Or more accurately the underboss, Alessandro Romano. Her biological father. And a family of four brothers and a twin sister. She hated them with everything in her. Why? Because they had blamed her for the death of her mother while giving birth to her. Because they had neglected, abused and abandoned her in hell. And, now they wanted forgiveness. Margaery had plans and forgiving wasn't one of them. But, when someone from her wretched past comes back to destroy her present, with her heart at stake, Margaery must fight all over again for herself and everyone she held dear. Because if she doesn't, she isn't sure she'll survive this time.

Ivory has never relied on anybody-anything. Not even her own mother. The same mother who forced her into a life she never deserved. But there's no backing out now. The assassin's life is all she's ever known, ever since childhood. Her mother made sure of that. Trouble finds Ivory like a vine-wrapping, twisting, never letting go. Spreading like a virus. Trouble finds her most when she discovers she's the bastard child of the Italian Mafia Don. When she meets him and his family-his wife and five sons-she realizes her life is no longer hers to control. And she hates that. It only worsens when her knight in shining armor reveals himself to be the devil in sheep's clothing. Satan himself, if you will. A new country. A new household. A new family. New friends gained, old ones lost. A thirst for revenge. How is she supposed to cope? Especially when stormy eyes follow her everywhere. But that's not quite what scares her. What terrifies her is the way he watches-not with the same disdain he gives everyone else, but with interest. With wonder. For her and her alone. You know what they all say; curiosity kills the cat. But satisfaction brought it back.
