Alexei Catalina Russo is a secret kept from everyone. She is no mafia princess; she has not been raised in the Cosa Nostra like her half-brother, like the rest of her paternal family.
She is only Giulio Russo’s bastard daughter. But even a bastard daughter has value, and Russo owes me for the trouble his thieving son has caused. So I demand from him what is my due.
And Catalina is my price.
Catalina The first night I meet my paternal family is the night Papa tells me I finally have a role to play in the Russo family.
It’s the night I learn that my half-brother, Nicky, did something so stupid, even his death wasn’t enough to pay his debt.
It’s the night I learn that paying off Nicky’s debt is my responsibility. So I run. Now I’m not just hiding from my family—I’m hiding from the mafia boss who thinks he owns me.
And I know if I’m caught…my life will never be my own again.
