When everything she's fought for is threatened by a mysterious enemy, our fierce queen finds herself in the dangerous embrace of Julian—a man who blurs the line between captor and protector in ways that leave her questioning everything. Her three devoted princes are determined to keep her safe at any cost, but Julian's game is intoxicating, and she can't deny the electric pull between them, even as danger closes in. With her life hanging in the balance and trust shattered like glass, she'll have to decide what she's willing to sacrifice—and how many princes she's willing to keep by her side. This is delicious mafia romance at its finest, with all the steam, loyalty, and high-stakes drama you crave in a why choose story.
