The Empress: Mafia Empire, Book 4

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a standalone, full-length mafia romance novel. While visiting family in Italy with my mother, I came face-to-face with Leo Toscano, the head of the Italian mafia and my worst nightmare. Let's get one thing straight: I didn't know the mafia was a thing until the ruthless man threatened to wipe out my family unless I married him. Not having much of a choice, I reluctantly said "I do," and tied myself to the heartless bastard for life. Turns out he doesn't want anything to do with me, and I quickly learn the definition of loneliness. But then secrets begin to come to light, and everything I thought I knew about my life turns out to be a lie. Now the big, bad mafia boss is the one begging. How the tables have turned. Each book in the Mafia Empire series is interconnected, but about a different couple who will all find their HEA. Narrated in duet style.
