Mafia Daughter, Federal Agent

Lucia Romano knows the cost of loyalty. As the dutiful daughter and bookkeeper to one of Brooklyn's most powerful families, she moves with grace through a world of whispered deals and unspoken threats. But beneath her elegant facade, Lucia harbors a dangerous secret: she's siphoning funds, desperate to free her late brother's widow from the family's grasp. Her carefully constructed life shatters when Cole Bennett, a new chef with eyes that see too much, steps into her family’s hallowed kitchen. He’s everything she should avoid—magnetic, enigmatic, and too keen for comfort. What Lucia doesn't know is that Cole is an undercover FBI agent, bound by a mission to dismantle her family... and by a past connection to her brother that runs deeper than any secret. Their forbidden attraction ignites a spark that could either save them both or burn their worlds to ashes.
