Athena is done running.
After barely surviving her time at Masterson Mansion and enduring betrayal at every turn, Athena is determined to take back control-and seek vengeance. But when her best friend and first love, Oliver, lies in a coma from a bullet wound, grief and guilt threaten to pull her under. Her world narrows to the sound of hospital monitors and the weight of her choices.
When Oliver wakes, so does Athena's fury.
Fueled by pain and rage, she and her four men-Oliver, Malachi, Hayden, and Ethan-go on the offensive. As secrets unravel and new enemies emerge, Athena dives deeper into the underbelly of the mafia empire her family helped create. With her sharp mind, brutal training, and loyal chosen family, Athena begins her transformation from collateral to queenpin.
But revenge doesn't come without blood.
As the final pieces fall into place, love and loyalty are tested, and Athena must decide how much of her soul she's willing to sacrifice to burn it all down. In a world built on power, betrayal, and violence, she'll stop at nothing to protect the people she loves-and make them all pay.
High heat. Higher stakes. And a heroine who refuses to be anyone's pawn.
