Alessandro Parisi was the Consigliere and right-hand man to the Don of the Romano crime family. All he has done since the age of sixteen has led him here at the side of his uncle who took him in after his parents were slaughtered in front of his eyes by the Riccis.
There were five capos in Sicily...the Romanos, the Riccis, the Russos, the La Rosas and the Lomardos. The Romanos and Riccis were the only families given free rein in America as long as they were both peaceful and profitable. The Romanos were the Chicago arm of the Sicilian mafia who controlled everything west of Lake Michigan and the Riccis controlled everything east to New York.
The unspoken goal of both the Romanos and Riccis was they would be the only Sicilian crime family in the United States. Only one ruler, but they keep their ambition quiet since the last time twenty-one years ago that the Ricci family stepped out of line he lost his mother and father. And they went unpunished. The Ricci family was granted immunity and had to hand over their construction business to the Romanos. Leaving the Riccis only their drug trade to survive.
The punishment wasn't enough. Alessandro wanted vengeance.
Sienna has worked hard for the Lyric Opera House debut, but instead of being ecstatic about securing a seat in the orchestra pit she gets a chill down her spine...she feels as if someone is stalking her. She has been paranoid for weeks since the death of her mother when her world turned upside down.
Her mother's attorney had told her that everything of value had been left to her in a safety deposit box at Chase Bank. And her life changed as soon as she opened the box. Her mother had been keeping secrets and everything about her life had been a lie. She thought her father was a low-life who left before she was born, but it was much worse than that.
Inside the box were letters, hundreds of deposit slips and her birth certificate. Her father was Matteo Ricci, the Don of the New York Sicilian mafia, insanely rich and deadly dangerous. In a second she went from classical musician to secret millionaire mafia princess and as soon as she stepped out of the bank she has felt eyes following her.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is mafia romance at its best. Alessandro has been biding his time for his vengeance since his family was murdered, but instead of killing Matteo Ricci Alessandro kidnaps his daughter and marries her not only for leverage but to keep her safe.
This book is action-packed from word one, full of danger and suspense and is sizzling hot. Like any mafia romance, it is full of murder and torture and Sienna finds herself in the middle of a mob war and she is the prize.
This is the first time that I have read anything by Giorgia Blake and it won't be the last. She immerses you in the story and these characters. Highly recommend!
