The most reckless thing I had ever done was turn my back on the Moretti name and leave St. Clair Harbor with Lucian DeLuca when the Commission pushed his family out and he had nothing left. For three years, we lived in a drafty Brooklyn loft and ducked black Chevrolets on winter nights. Then Lucian fought his way back to the East Coast table. Everyone started calling him Mr. DeLuca again,and I became Mrs. DeLuca, the woman he swore he would always protect. Then Clara Voss appeared. She had once saved his life as a night nurse at an underground clinic, and Lucian never forgot it. He bought her a clinic, protected her family, and let her step, inch by inch, into the middle of our marriage. He said he still loved me, but he also said I was spoiled, jealous, and needed to learn my place. So I did. I signed the divorce papers and left New York behind. Mrs. DeLuca was dead. Evelyn Moretti had come back.

Dee Samuels goes through things no one should. After discovering betrayal by her criminal husband, she chooses revenge to punish him and those he surrounds himself with.

The position as the private secretary of Don Aido Derocchi is a proper job that comes with a lavish salary. That's why everyone is shocked when they find out that I've resigned from that job. I tell everyone that I want to take my son, Leo Derocchi, to Melbir so that I can collect my husband's personal effects there. What no one knows is that my so-called husband is actually Aido himself. Leo is the by-product of our one night stand. That's why Leo and I can't let our true identities be known to the public. Since the Derocchi family doesn't need me as their Donna, I don't need a man who's not a good husband as well. Of course, Leo doesn't need a father who doesn't even permit him to call him "papa".

My father sold me to the devil. Not because he wanted to. Because he had to. At least, that's the lie I told myself when I was delivered to the most feared mafia family in New York. The De Luca's. As payment for a war my father lost, I became Lorenzo De Luca's prize. His possession. His plaything. Before abandoning me, my father made me a promise. Spy on the De Luca's for two years, and he'll come back for me. So I waited. And somewhere between stolen glances, whispered conversations, and the dangerous protection of the man I was supposed to betray, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I fell in love with Lorenzo De Luca. The ruthless capo who could order a man's death without blinking. The monster everyone feared. The only man who ever made me feel safe. Then I overheard him call me nothing more than his dumb plaything. When the two years were finally over, my father never came. No rescue. Nothing. Determined to take back control of my life, I orchestrated my own escape. But escaping Lorenzo De Luca is impossible. Especially when my own family wants me dead. And especially when the only man capable of protecting me is the same man who broke my heart. Now I'm trapped between two worlds. One that sold me. And one that refuses to let me go. The deeper I fall into Lorenzo's darkness, the more dangerous our connection becomes. Because Lorenzo De Luca doesn't know how to love. He only knows how to possess. And when the truth about my father's betrayal finally comes to light, New York will burn. The only question is whether Lorenzo saves me from the flames... Or drags me into them with him.
