Who Said 'He'S Too Late For Her Mafia Majesty'?

"You were promised to me, Alessia, not even death can change that." Alessia Capone was born a mafia princess, powerful last name, perfect future and zero control. At just fourteen, her parents sold her into a blood-soaked engagement with Rino Lombardi, the cold, dangerous heir of Italy’s most feared criminal empire. He was obsessed from the moment he saw her. She hated him before he even spoke. To escape that fate, she ran straight into the arms of another man. A man who turned out to be worse than her worst nightmare. Now, decades later, Rino Lombardi is back. Widowed. Ruthless. More powerful than ever. And still maddeningly obsessed with the one woman who got away. He made a vow to himself. If he can’t have her willingly, he’ll burn the world until she begs to come home. But Alessia is no longer the young girl he once knew. She’s a queen in her own right. She’ll never kneel, never submit, not even to the devil she once escaped. ...Or will she? Because the man she swore to hate may be the only one she’s ever truly belonged to. And this time, he’s not asking.

*Synopsis: The Rebirth of the Mafia Queen* Caterina Moretti died at 22 in a red silk gown, betrayed by her husband, her consigliere, and the alliance she trusted. She was shot in her own family’s ballroom, a casualty of a war she was too soft to win. She wakes up at 19. Three years before her marriage to Luca Vale. Three years before her death. Same name, same family, different rules. This time, Caterina remembers everything. Refusing the Vale engagement, she moves first. She burns the evidence that would have been used against her, allies with the Russian Bratva for control of the Naples port, and puts her own people in place. Her decisive, ruthless moves shock the Moretti family and ignite a war with the Vales. In the chaos, Matteo Russo appears. Son of a rival family, he should be her enemy. But he remembers her death too. He was two days too late to save her last time. In this life, he isn’t. He becomes her shadow, her shield, and eventually the one person she lets close. To secure peace, Matteo enters a paper marriage with Anya Orlova, cousin to the Bratva leader, while forming a fragile, loyal triangle with Caterina. Over months of blood, betrayal, and strategy, Caterina dismantles the Vales piece by piece. She exposes traitors in her own house, survives assassination attempts, and takes control of the city’s ports, money, and power. When her father steps down, she claims the title of Don. No longer the girl who waited to be chosen, Caterina rules with precision. She builds a new kind of family with Matteo and Anya at her side. This is the story of a woman who died once, came back, and decided she would never die waiting again.

I had lost my memory for three years. I'd been through hell and high water with Adrian Vance for the past three years. He told me we'd grown up together on the same block, two kids who'd fallen for each other young. He told me that once he had a real foothold in the Family, he'd marry me in front of all of Palermo and make the whole city come to watch. I believed him. With a steady trigger hand and a mean streak, I cleared every man who stood in his way. I dragged him up from a nobody bastard son into the inner circle of the Family, one body at a time. Then the day finally came, and what he said was, "I've already asked the Don for his daughter Camilla. It's settled. I'm marrying her." "Camilla's a mafia princess. The Don's pride and joy. Not some no-name orphan girl with nothing and no one behind her. She's the one who can actually lift me up." "Be good, Vera. As long as Camilla never finds out, we can go on the way we always have." "Be good. You mean play your mistress in the dark, is that it?" What Adrian didn't know was that my memory had already come back. My real name was Hale, heir to the Hale family, the one enemy the Marlowe outfit he'd sworn himself to feared most. Childhood sweethearts, princesses, Don. In the end they were all just one more debt I'd settle on my way to paying the Family back in full.
