Why we recommend it
The first crown in a sprawling mafia dynasty, this opener trades on the heady tension of a sham vow that refuses to stay pretend. Expect a ruthless, controlling lead, a heroine learning to hold her own behind enemy lines, and the slow erosion of pretense into something dangerous and real. Cold-blooded power plays and simmering possession make it ideal for readers who like their kingpins lethal.
