Isabella Romanov thought her body was broken. She thought the man holding her while she bled was the only thing keeping her alive but she was wrong about all of it.
The pills in her green juice, the best friend in her bed, the forged signatures waiting in a lawyer's desk, Marcus Whitfield didn't just betray her. He hollowed her out and sold what was left.
But Marcus made one fatal mistake. He forgot who her father was.
When Isabella walks out of her suburban prison and back into the world of blood and power she was born into, she finds an unlikely ally in Luca Moretti, the most dangerous man on the East Coast. He'll destroy Marcus and burn every bridge her ex-husband ever built. But his protection comes at a price: her hand, her name, and her presence in his bed.
Isabella isn't stupid enough to trust another powerful man. She's just desperate enough to marry one.
As she rises from discarded wife to mafia queen, Isabella uncovers a conspiracy far darker than infidelity, stolen embryos, Russian bounties, and a family ledger worth more than the city itself.
The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that everyone around her wants something, and the man who swore to protect her might have wanted it first.
In a world where blood is currency and love is leverage, Isabella must have to decide what she's willing to burn to get back what was taken from her and whether the man beside her is worth keeping.

his storytelling always leaves me in awe. If I had to rank them, 'The Flight Attendant' would be at the top—it’s a gripping psychological thriller with twists that kept me up all night. Close behind is 'Midwives,' a haunting courtroom drama that made me question my own moral compass. 'The Sandcastle Girls' is another standout, blending historical depth with emotional resonance. 'The Double Bind' and 'Before You Know Kindness' are also brilliant, though they didn’t hit me as hard as the others. Bohjalian has a knack for weaving suspense with deep human connections, and these books showcase his range perfectly.
his prolific output is one of the reasons I admire him so much. From what I've gathered through my reading and research, Bohjalian has written over 20 novels. His books span various genres, from historical fiction to psychological thrillers, and each one has a unique voice. Some of my personal favorites include 'The Flight Attendant,' which was adapted into a TV series, and 'Midwives.' His ability to craft compelling narratives with deep emotional resonance keeps me coming back for more. If you're new to his work, I'd recommend starting with 'The Double Bind'—it's a mind-bender!
