A QUEEN IN WAITING After fifty years of peace, Carmine Montefiore's decree rains down on the families of this city. Your daughters will line up, and he will choose his bride. When families have failed to release their girls to the line, the Montefiores have left a bloodbath behind. It is my birthright to be sacrificed. And so my only hope for a new life comes at the hands of Massimo Colonia, a man stained with sin...and absolutely forbidden. A KING IN EXILE All I want to do is return home and take back my kingdom, but the moment I see her in that dark alley, my world shifts. She is mine. And if the Families think I’m handing her over to keep their peace, they’ll find out how wrong they are. They’ve forgotten who they are dealing with. I am the last capo of the Colonia, and for her, I will rain hell on all of them.
