Now joined in power with Elio, we hatch a plan to show to the world that the Capri name will rule over Italy.


The decision stirs panic and causes a ripple effect throughout the country. Friendships and loyalties are tested. Truths are revealed as we prepare to fight any who oppose us.


With a careful eye on our enemies, we are circled by others with false intent. Secrets and weaknesses are revealed and lies are taken to the grave.


𝙀𝙡𝙞𝙤


With our past behind us and our wounds healed, it’s time to take things to the next level. We tore down one kingdom, and now we’ll build another…together.


I knew that if we followed tradition, we’d look death in the eye every day. But I am a fighter, as is Sienna. We’re determined to have the life we’ve worked so desperately to build.


Meanwhile, a third player is still there on the sidelines trying to make his play, and when he does, it’s the biggest blow of them all.

𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙄𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙮.


My Thoughts:


This is a story about Sienna and Elio and the families that connect them. Theirs is a story that begins in the book titled Quiet Wealth. Whether you read or listen to the book, this is a tale best read in order. One thing is for certain, our author is a great storyteller.  

 

The narrators did a good job at bringing their world to life. Mr. Hobbs helps me distinguish between the good and bad guys. Ms. Watley does the same with the women. On the negative, there are times that I didn’t feel like Ms. Watley changed her voice enough that I would get lost in what female character I was listening to. 

 

Our author created a tale that made my commute very pleasurable. But some of her scenes were a little too descriptive. Thankfully, I didn’t have anything in my stomach at the time. It shows how good she is at her job because my mind could picture everything as it played out. I would still listen to it again especially since I love the mafia and romantic suspense genres.  

 

I had a sad moment when I got to the end of the book because I wanted to know more about Sienna’s friend. Since I already follow the author, I’ll just keep my eyes open to see if he’ll make an appearance. But she has other series that I feel the need to check out. As well as plenty of audiobooks to listen to.

BLURB:

The time has come to take back the power and let the kingdom fall.

Sienna

It’s time to make my move. With solid proof on my finger, I leave my love and enter the gates of the enemy.
Ugo is by my side as we fall into their world and quickly discover the cracks in the Coppola family’s foundation.
I’m confident I’m protected by my father’s name, and though I’m welcomed by some, I’m watched by others.

I played my part well—maybe too well, because I think I just changed the future for us all.

Elio

Her mother’s lies blew up my entire world. How could the woman I love have the blood of a monster?
With all eyes intently on me, I turn my back on what is revealed and sink further into what I need to do.
I seek the cover of smoke and mirrors and force back the shadows that want to take me down.

But with any good play there comes a blind spot, and this blind spot might just come with an unexpected body count.

EXCERPT:
Sienna

Ugo gripped the top of my arm as I swayed in fear in front of a sign that read Dager’s Den.
“Why here?” I couldn’t look at him.
“Because,” I heard him rub his face, annoyed with my questions, “she’s like clockwork. She’d never miss a day to flaunt her power to the other men.”
Sweet Lord.
“I think I might faint.”
He cut me a quick glance then shook his head and cursed.
My entire body froze with fear, and my eyes went wide at the sound of the handle being pulled. The door opened to reveal a woman with eyes as black as coal in a face with skin so white it almost glowed. Her dark hair was pulled tightly back into a bun, and a pair of glasses hung from the collar of her blue blouse. Her perfectly ironed gray slacks stopped at her ankles just above her small-heeled boots. Both hands rested on a glass ball that sat on the top of her black cane. I felt like I had been transported directly into a nasty scene from a Disney movie.
“Ugo.” She only spoke his name then closed her eyes slowly, and when they opened again, they were on me. I stepped back, but Ugo pressed me forward, rooting me back in place. She was like a cobra only inches from my face. It made me want to run and scream at the same time, but my brain seemed to have shorted out at the simultaneous commands.
So, I just stared.
“Nonna Rosa,” Ugo addressed her, and I felt him look down at me, “I want you to meet someone.”
A cold chill passed through my body, and I became lightheaded as my heartbeat pulsed in my ears. “This is Theo’s Alessia, your granddaughter.”
She lifted her eyes to stare at him for a brief moment then turned those black pools back to me. Her colorless lips pressed into a hard line as she tried to see inside my soul.
“Prove it.”
I stood frozen, completely unable to respond. She had awakened such a deep fear inside of me I was completely at her mercy.
Ugo reached for my hand and held it up to show her the ring.
She grabbed my hand between her icy fingers and held it close to her face. She closed one eye and twisted the band around and gave a low gasp.
“Impossible.”
