Silk & Vengeance

The obedient princess her father created, or the queen his men never saw coming?

Emmeline Carello was born into power, raised in luxury, and groomed to inherit the most dangerous criminal empire in London. To the outside world, the Carellos are untouchable. Behind closed doors, loyalty is currency, betrayal is fatal, and every move is part of a larger game.

For years, Kage has stood in the shadows at her father's side - silent, lethal, and unreadable to everyone but her. Protector. Enforcer. The one man Emmeline can never truly have.

But when duty demands she sacrifice her future for the family name, long-buried desires ignite, and the lines between loyalty and love begin to blur.

As enemies circle and old debts resurface, Emmeline must decide what kind of ruler she will become: the obedient princess her father created... or the queen his men never saw coming.

In a world built on violence, trust is the rarest luxury of all - and love may be the deadliest weakness.
