Alessandra Navarra has done the unthinkable to save the man she loves—now she must lead a crime family built on blood and betrayal. To keep him alive, she must keep him close… even if it means trapping him in her world.

In Shadows of Power, Alessandra steps into her father’s place as head of the Navarra empire, a role she never wanted but can no longer avoid. The men who once served her father question her authority. Her enemies smell blood. And Steven Porter—the journalist she once lost and has now risked everything to protect—is a reluctant captive in her estate.

Their love still simmers beneath the weight of secrets and sacrifice, but nothing between them is simple anymore. As they secretly plot to bring down the empire from within, a new threat rises—one that could unravel their plan and destroy them both.

This is a closed-door mafia romance, where tension runs high, emotions cut deep, and love is tested by loyalty, power, and impossible choices. In a world where violence is currency and trust is a liability, Alessandra and Steven must decide whether their fractured love can survive the shadows—or if it will be swallowed by them for good.

Can love survive in the shadows of power, or will the darkness claim them both?
