I was in f**king heaven. I staggered, and for a second, I genuinely wondered if she could in fact induce a heart attack like this. My phone vibrated. Of course it did, right before gunfire lit up the night. ***** Rosalind Marlow returns to New York to settle her father’s affairs, once one of the city’s most feared mafia bosses, only to find he died beside his greatest rival… and left behind a contract binding her to the rival’s son.
