Her father, the undisputed king of the West Coast underworld, is dead. Now, Talia Vex stands to inherit an empire built on blood and fear, but only if she agrees to a condition that shatters her world: a strategic alliance with Don Rizzo Forte. Ten years ago, they fought side-by-side, survived the same war, and then vanished from each other's lives. Now, a single name on a will forces her back into the dangerous game she left behind. Talia must find the ghost of her past, the man her father trusted above all others, to claim her future. But in the brutal world of power and betrayal, can she trust the man who once broke her heart, or will this alliance be her ultimate undoing?
